In the mood to treat yourself to some fresh, organic Mediterranean food? Fast, friendly service by Joey – nicknamed Joeyness — and his mom make this a must if you’re hankering for some yummy hummus or a scrumptious falafel wrap. How about a gigantic grilled beef kofta wrap with tahini dressing? Yum. Also on the menu are meat and veggie platters served with Mom’s special rice with toasted vermicelli. If you’ve never heard of lamajun — Mediterranean style pizza — now’s your chance to give it a try. Joey’s a graduate of the prestigious Culinary Institute of America, so he knows how to do it right. Prices are a bargain, especially for food of this caliber and generous portions.

You know that you need fruits and vegetables every day to stay healthy, but how many do you need? This handy calculator from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will determine how many servings of fruits and veggies you need in just a few simple steps.

Here's how it works:

• First, enter your age and gender.
• Next, select your level of physical activity. This option includes 30 minutes per day or less, 30 to 60 minutes per day, or more than 60 minutes per day. People who exercise more need more food to provide energy, and they can also afford to eat more because of how many calories they’re burning. People who exercise less should also eat less to avoid gaining weight.
• Your daily fruits and vegetables limit is measured in cups. Things like one small apple, one large banana, one large sweet potato and 12 baby carrots all equal one cup. It’s actually much easier to meet your daily requirements than you might realize! To see other examples of one cup of fruits and vegetables, check out this chart!
