PumpBy Ganjin Girl's Guide to Chinatown Mar 07, 2007A NYC chain specializing in health food...much of it with a sports nutrition twist. Both omni and veggie options are available...running the gamut from grilled chicken sandwiches, to egg white omelets and more vegan friendly options as salads and whole wheat veggie wraps. While working late tonight I decided to sample the menu - ordering a grilled tofu wrap, vegetarian chili and a green juice shake (supplemented with soy protein.) An interesting combination, which unfortunately failed in every aspect. The tofu proved rubbery, the chili bland. The veggie juice was the highlight, with a decent (though unmemorable) taste. Too bad - for the concept behind Pump is admirable. With a little more spice and seasoning, the food could be, too. FULL REVIEWThe Pump Energy Food - Health Food Physical Fitness RestaurantBy Plate of the Day Aug 26, 2005Midtown Manhattan is kind of a desert in terms of good food. After the countless delis, pizza places, cheap Chinese, expensive Japanese, you kind of get sick of the selection. 9th avenue is kind of a hike from where I work. A few blocks north of MOMA is The Pump energy food restaurant. It’s a health food theme restaurant and when you walk in you see a wall of singed photos from famous sports celebrities, models, actors, musicians, etc. The Pump doesn’t fry their food - they bake and steam and they make the food made to order so it’s fresh. The ingredients are for the most part fresh . I got the Rookie Steak Burger ($7.00) which is a lean 6 oz steak burger served with grilled onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, a little low-sodium tomato sauce and melted non-fat mozzarella inside a toasted whole wheat pita. It was a mouthful and very tasty and surprisingly filling. They also have all kinds of shakes and smoothies, etc. I guess it’s pretty good food if you are sick of the greasy sandwiches you get on 48th street. FULL REVIEW
