When New Year's comes around, most people recommit to living a healthier lifestyle. However, as the months go by, it gets a bit harder to stick to these resolutions.
If you want to keep focusing on your nutrition, finding some healthy restaurants can really help! Luckily, there are many excellent choices in Northeast Ohio. Here are a few of our favorites.

If you believe that being healthy is all about balance, you'll love the vibe at Town Hall. They're committed to offering a menu that's fully non-GMO and mostly organic. Even better, the menu is created by an in-house nutritionist.

One of the area's favorite vegetarian and vegan-friendly restaurants, Munch offers an incredible selection of healthy foods. They don't just serve veggie items, though. Take a look through their menu, and you'll see sandwiches made with off-the-bone turkey, salads with oven-roasted chicken breast, pastrami sandwiches, and more.
While everything on the menu is good, we really love the falafel, tabbouleh, and the Israeli salad. For take-out, we suggest trying the Family Falafel Kit. They're just $15 per person, and you can order for 2 to 15 people. It's so much fun to take and make at home!

Their menu is packed with delicious vegan and vegetarian dishes and traditional cuisine -- all made with the freshest possible local ingredients. Some of our favorite dishes include the Pickle Fries, Marinated Tofu Wrap, and the Tequila-Lime Grilled Chicken Club.
You also won't want to miss their amazing breakfast every Sunday from 11 am until 3 pm. If you're craving a "cheat meal," this is the perfect place to get one! We recommend the Hot Chicken Fried Steak, Cheese and Sausage Sammy or the Ham, Egg, and Cheese Crepes.
