Get Fuel in South Brooklyn


At one time there was a vast migration of Brooklynites to Staten Island in search of affordable homes and big-box shopping centers. Since then  we have witnessed the reverse trend as people of all ethnicities converge on  Brooklyn making this borough the place to be. Each area has its unique places to visit.
While wandering through this South Brooklyn neighborhood you might enjoy:

  • The boardwalk in Coney Island with rides and other attractions
  • The shopping Mecca  in Brighton under the train elevation 
  • The harbor views of Sheepshead Bay
  • Marine Park walking and bike riding trails
  • The  Salt Marsh nature center and trail 
  • Restaurant Row on Emmons Avenue
  • The Brooklyn Cyclones at MCU Park
     After going to any of the above places,  I like to partake of some yummy food options at one of my favorite restaurants.   I often frequent the   Fuel Champion  Restaurant in Sheepshead Bay.  It is conveniently located across the street from the local gym.  After a strenuous workout what better place to restore and refresh  your body with the healthy nutrition it needs?  
      I have many reasons for haunting this restaurant beyond the post workout excuse and convenient location. There are numerous options that are available at any time of day conveniently listed on their well lit signage on the walls.   Fuel offers a casual yet extensive menu that includes juices, protein shakes, smoothies, salads, low carb pizza, soups, chili, energy and low-carb plates, wraps, and an assortment of baked goods, energy drinks and snacks.  All items are available to eat in or take out. You can call in an order or step up to the counter and give specific instructions about your order.   Whatever  your food preference, it's healthy and delicious.  The prices are very reasonable and the portions are ample.  Some of my favs are the Pacific Vegetable Wrap, the Spa Breakfast Wrap, the baked Sweet Potato Fries, and the Kale Smoothie.
     Where else in South Brooklyn can  vegans, pescatarians, vegetarians , and carnivores share a meal freshly prepared to order?  The atmosphere is congenial and mellow.  A home away from home where you can eat healthy without emptying your wallet.  Gym attire accepted!

Bottom Line:  It's possible to eat in restaurants and still eat healthy.
