For a fast and fresh lunch, you now can try a new spot in Brooklyn, called ‘Plenti’.

“I wanted to create something I knew I could eat, every single day,” says Nixon. “If youre someone that doesn’t like raw fish, we have simple bowls that are fresh and still taste delicious, and we take it a step further with our sauces,” Nixon suggested trying the banging shrimp or the ‘avo-cali’ bowl.
“For people that are hesitant about raw fish, we get that and we understand that. so we actually have market bowls that have cooked proteins in them, like chicken, market fish. we also do salads and smoothies. so we can be a one stop shop for a lot of people at different times of the day,” says Nixon.
