<strong>Best</strong> Smoothie Bar NU Cafe<br />
NU Cafe | 335 Chandler Street | Worcester | 508.926.8800 | www.nucafe.com<br />
Formerly known as Jumpin’ Juice and Java, NU Cafe broke from the small franchise when owners Andy Erickson and Joshua Van Dyke decided<br />
to break out on their own. Embodying the French term “nu” for “naked” or “nude,” NU Cafe promotes foods and drink free from all the “junk.” Using<br />
only real, whole fruits and real fruit juices, NU Cafe produces delectably refreshing and healthy smoothies. Try their selection <strong>of</strong> Real Fruit or<br />
Tropical smoothies for a fresh blast <strong>of</strong> fruity flavor or opt for the Indulgent smoothies for a sweeter taste <strong>of</strong> chocolate or cream. If you’re looking<br />
for an extra kick, choose the Supercharged smoothies – blended with whey protein, acai, and bananas for extra nutrients – or get energized from<br />
a shot <strong>of</strong> espresso in a Java smoothie. Whichever way you go, you can’t go wrong at NU Cafe!<br />

Sure, you could held to a dusty tavern to enjoy a spirited libation, but<br />
why not indulge in a premium cordial in an air <strong>of</strong> sophistication? Do so<br />
at Via Italian Table – our readers’ pick for this year’s <strong>Best</strong> Lounge. The<br />
classic Italian restaurant also is home to one <strong>of</strong> the most unique and<br />
enjoyable spots to sit and mingle while sipping a taste <strong>of</strong> Via’s extensive<br />
wine collection or fabulous cocktail creations. A row <strong>of</strong> glass doors lead<br />
from the restaurant out to a stately piazza where you can delight in the<br />
beautiful landscaping in the sun or take in the brisk air at night. Open<br />
through three seasons, the back patio at Via also makes the perfect<br />
location to dine al fresco.<br />
