🛒 NYC vs LA: Who Does Luxury Wellness Better? | Erewhon vs Happier Grocery 🍓💸

What happens when New York City takes on Los Angeles in the world of luxury grocery shopping? In this video, I explore two of the most hyped wellness hotspots: Erewhon in Venice Beach and Happier Grocery in Manhattan. Both promise plant-based living, adaptogenic drinks, $20 smoothies, and a better version of yourself—but is it all just marketing?

I try the viral Hailey Bieber smoothie at Erewhon and the Yuzu Coconut Matcha at Happier Grocery, taking you inside both juice bars for a first-hand look at the culture, the price tags, and the aesthetic.

Why are people spending this much on groceries? Is Happier Grocery really the “Erewhon of NYC”? And what does this say about how wellness has become a luxury brand?
