Karyn's Raw

Karyn's Raw is one of three restaurants owned by Karyn Calabrese. As its name suggests, everything is raw. My cousin and I stopped in for lunch last month and tried some amazing dishes.

We shared the Nachos, with corn tortilla chips, guacamole, sweetened sour cream, black olives, marinated red onions and caramelized jalapenos. If you weren't informed, you would have no idea these were raw and vegan. The chips are crunchy and the sauces are creamy and seriously addicting.
For my entree, I had the Basil Scented Ravioli, half moon shells (made of turnips) filled with macadamia whipped crème dressed with an Italian olive marinara sauce. These were really filling with lots of flavor.
My cousin ordered the Spinach Pizza, Italian herb crust topped with raw marscarpone cheese, tomato basil puree, and garlic oil infused spinach. Now, it's not exactly pretty, but the flavors are really complex and delicious.
Next door, they sell all kinds of vegan supplements and vitamins.
And you can get their prepared foods to go, from soups to raw crackers to raw vegan sour cream.
