    All you need is L.O.V.E.—Live Organic Vegan Experience. This is the philosophy behind the living food and fashion boutique Organic Avenue (101 Stanton St.). At this cozy and chic Lower East Side shop, you can find everything from organic bikinis and bathrobes to oxygen gel skincare and detox DVDs. Here, hemp fashions are no longer hippie, they’re haute couture. The shop’s kitchen offers a daily smorgasbord of vegan treats to help keep your colon cruelty-free. Stop by and grab a snack or sign up to be a part of one of their three customized food programs. For $350 a week, they will prepare a selection of seven raw items each day that you can pick up or have delivered. Afraid your hearty appetite won’t be satisfied by rabbit food? Owner Denise Mari understands, “People might think that a live food diet might leave them feeling deprived, but we offer an abundant and delicious experience.” So go ahead, eat it raw and feel the L.O.V.E.
