Here at Places, we don’t choose our meals based on health.

We look for authentic cuisine. We want the type of food that reflects a culture and a place. Sometimes though, delicious authentic food also happens to be healthy.

Here are our top picks for good eats that are also good for you. You can travel and stick to your New Year’s health resolutions too.
