37th & Zen and Enviro Jen

I like trying new restaurants in Hampton Roads, and my husband's cousin's wife Jenna introduced me to a great one in the most unexpected place: 37th & Zen, at the corner of Hampton Blvd. and 37th St. across from the ODU campus.

Since Jenna and I both work on the Norfolk naval base (in different offices), a restaurant on Hampton Blvd. is a convenient place for us to have lunch together. And 37th & Zen has a great menu, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, including yummy sesame garlic edamame.

What I Ate:

• lunch #1: BLT with avocado & chutney mayo - simple, but delicious
• lunch #2: Thai Chicken Cobb salad - Thai spiced chicken, bacon, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, and Gorgonzola with balsamic vinegar dressing

The Scoop:

37th & Zen (www.37nzen.com) is located at the corner of 37th St. and Hampton Blvd. Their hours are T-F 11am-2am, Sat 5pm-2am, and Sun 5pm until. They're closed on Mondays.
