STRETCH in the city

What: Always on the hunt for the best yoga class money can buy? Grab Citystretch: A Guide To New York City Yoga and take the advice of 2 seasoned urban yogis who scoured every block (and mat) to bring you the ins and outs of every studio in the city.
Where: Order Citystretch online for $15.
Why: There’s over $450 of free classes available at studios across the city. Namaste!
   
MIDTOWN eats

What: Work in midtown but don’t know how to make a healthy lunch work for you? Look no further than Free Foods NYC for organic, raw and vegetarian delights (meat lovers—they have grass-fed beef, free-range chicken and wild Alaskan fish!) Or pop on over to Zen Burger, for a veggie-inspired burger (hold the antibiotics, hormones and artificial flavors).
Where: Free Foods NYC, 18 W. 45th St.; Zen Burger, 465 Lexington (@ 45th St.).
Why: It’s about time fast food got a makeover.
   
CLEAN ride

What: Want a smaller carbon footprint with bigger legroom? There’s a new car service in town that only uses the roomier Toyota Camry and Lexus hybrid—not a Prius in sight.
Where: NYC Green Car. Call 1-800-809-2073 to reserve.
Why: They donate 10% of profits to NYC-based environmental groups and causes—and let you choose which organization benefits from your ride.
