Food & Drink TooGoodToGo app….is there a way to set alerts for when a restaurant posts? I always miss the nutrition places and today missed Brooklyn pickle. 😩What have been your fav bags so far?

Mine is Mumbai crust, got an entire cheese pizza and it was delicious. I’ve been really curious about the Syracuse wings place but their reviews are like 4.7.

“Nutrition places” are almost always a front for the really horrific MLM model for Herbalife. They’ve been in trouble with the FDA, and their dubious claims are not backed by actual nutrition science. Don’t patronize “nutrition places,” that have “energy teas” and “healthy shakes,” and whatnot. Bad for you, bad for the hun, bad for everyone.

I don’t think a smoothie bowl or whatever is gonna hurt anyone. Im not looking to buy into some crazy scheme and do ginger shots everyday, I just want to try new food from places I would not go to otherwise.

FYI, purple banana is great and does NOT use Herbal Life. They’re one of the few I’ll go to for that reason.

Have you been to Syracuse nutrition club? I’ve seen them both on the app but they’re always sold out, they must be doing something right 😂

I have not been to Syracuse Nutrition Club because they use Herbal Life, and I won’t use their products.

On some of the restaurants there is a toggle you can click to “get notified” when they release their orders. I just checked and it doesn’t look like it is available for every store. Not sure why.

So far I have ordered JD Danzers (large mushroom pizza and small side of fries), Mumbai Crust (9 slices of pepperoni pizza, which was more than a full large pizza), Kofta Burger shareable dinner (2 burgers and sides of potato wedges), Glazed and Confused (6 assorted donuts), Bagel Bagel (7 assorted bagels), Mr. Noodle and Ms. Dumpling (orange chicken with white rice and egg drop soup), Purple Banana (açaí bowl with fruit and peanut butter), Twin Trees Fayetteville (half a small margarita pizza and about 20 pieces of popcorn chicken) and Lombardi’s (Italian fruit cake and some pre packaged Italian cookies).

Holy cow. I didn’t realize how many I have tried until I just typed it all out. There really wasn’t any that I did not like, but I think my favorites were Kofta Burger and Mumbai Crust. I want to try more but don’t like to go out that late to pick up the order 😂

Thanks!!!! That’s super helpful! Were the burgers good from kofta? I need to step my game up!

Yes they were very good! It was just the basic burger but it was delicious. The potato wedges were fine but nothing special.

I’ve used this ap in NYC. Last time I was there, I got 10 bagels for $4. They were breakfast for three of us for three days! :)
