Crossings Deli!!! I highly recommend this little deli located in Northeast Columbia near Providence Hospital Northeast. If you live or work in the area, try it the next time you eat out for lunch!
There are a ton of healthy options, which is what I always look for. Of course, there are various not-so-healthy sandwiches too (Crossings Special is a known favorite). For those of you looking for a tasty, nutritious meal, try the minestrone soup, full of vegetables and a variety of beans. It has an exceptional flavor, perfect thickness and stocked full of good-for-you ingredients! Or you can always find a good salad, whether traditional or Greek. Another favorite of mine is the Vegetarian Platter! I have also tried the veggie burger, which I always like more than beef. For those of you with larger appetites, try a club sandwich on wheat bread (3 slices).
Some sandwiches are served on pita bread, or you can order a side of warm pita to accompany your soup or salad. There are also great wraps! So whatever kind of deli food you like, you are sure to be pleased here. It is family-owned and open for lunch only (weekdays only as well). To avoid the lines, I usually call in my order and pick it up within 10 minutes.
What can be better for a weekday lunch than a fast, fresh meal from a local deli? It far outweighs your fast food options (Wendy's, Sonic, Bojangles).

Bonefish Grill: A Healthy Review
Last weekend, my family selected Bonefish Grill (on Forest Drive in Columbia) for a birthday dinner, and having not eaten there in years, I was thoroughly impressed! I did not choose to eat all healthy menu items, but there were a ton of healthy seafood dishes, including many different types of fish served with your choice of sauce.
The first food I loved was the house salad. The dressing was light and delicious! And it had what looked like large sunflower seeds with a tasty, strong flavor. It also had a small slice of heart of palm, which was an unexpected, nice touch.
We ordered our usual calamari, which is a family favorite appetizer and one we like to taste at many restaurants. It was good enough that even my 3-year-old liked it more than his mac and cheese.
The bread served with olive oil and seasoning was perfect: warm, toasty on the outside, soft on the inside. Having eaten so much already, I ordered a small appetizer for my entree, which was the best food I have tasted in the past year. Bacon-wrapped scallops served with mango salsa. The scallops were cooked to perfection, the bacon added the crunch and smoky flavor, and the salsa was the ideal complement to the delicious duo.
My husband ordered salmon with a side of cheesy potatoes, both of which I tried and truly enjoyed. The serving sizes were larger than fine dining, of which my husband usually leaves hungry. He was actually so full that he gave me the last several bites of his meal.
The atmosphere is like fine dining but more casual. The prices are mid-range, with most seafood entrees ranging from around $15 to around $25. It is a beautiful choice for a romantic evening or any range of casual to formal dinners. So the next time you want to go out for a healthy dinner or special occasion, I highly recommend Bonefish Grill!
