A need for fresh, healthy food -- usually while on the run -- but without sacrificing quality and flavor. Enter Palm Foods, the entrepreneurial team behind the MIX brand, who put their hunger where their mouths are. The result? Made-to-order breakfasts, salads, and sauté bowls that offer quality food in a fast-casual setting. Welcome to Greenwich. The healthy eatery opened in April with a menu created under the direction of Chef Fausto Mieres, a graduate of the French Culinary Institute whose kitchen cred i…

So, they moved Sogno into Johnny's, which is literally doors away from the original location, giving it more of a Chelsea Market meets Arthur Avenue feel. They are also in the midst of expanding the restaurant, literally doubl…
