ENGLEWOOD — Farlow’s on the Water became the first restaurant in Englewood to unveil the YMCA Fit Pick selections on the menu when it debuted Thursday. The Fit Pick program is designed for health-conscious individuals monitoring their calorie intake.

“It’s really an exciting program,” said Mischa Kirby, director of marketing at the South County Family YMCA. “It’s starting in Englewood because there are a lot of local restaurants. Sometimes you go to these larger chains (and) they serve these meals that are identified as meeting (a) certain calorie count or that they’re heart-healthy. So we figured part of our mission is to make the whole community healthier, not just the people who walk through the doors of the YMCA.”
