Dojo, W. 4th St., Manhattan ****

Now, this is one of the very few places where I can stick to Weight Watchers core plan and eat good -- so I'm all about some Dojo. I had their "Vegetarian Special" that included brown rice, steamed vegetables, black bean soup, and Tahini dressing. But, one can also order all sorts of other dishes, and adult beverages, at Dojo. The prices are unbelievably low by New York standards -- $6.50 for some plates. I like the table opportunities, too -- you can sit outside, or inside near the window, or inside in a more enclosed space ... Dojo is just a few steps from the Angelika Film Center, so if you happen to be there and want a good, cheap meal -- pop into Dojo. Tell 'em Edna Earl sent ya.
