Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
Knowing that I’d be heading to the DC area for the DC Gluten-Free Expo in Bethesda, I knew I wanted to head down a day early to do some food scouting in DC. Topping the list was Beefsteak, a plant-powered fast casual concept from Jose Andres, the regional super chef behind Oyamel (which I visited last November) and many other restaurants in the city. Located in Dupont Circle, the Beefsteak location I […]
After breakfast at Friedman’s Lunch, my mom and I explored around Chelsea Market and the meatpacking district. After several hours, we worked up an appetite, but the heat of midday dissuaded us from wanting anything too heavy. Fitting the bill perfectly is smoothie and juice bar Liquiteria. A East Village born smoothie shop with locations around NYC, Liquiteria is a good option for plant-based, good-for-you treats and eats. In addition to an assortment […]
The last time I was in New York City my family stopped for lunch at Friedman’s Harold Square, which totally impressed all of us for their tasty fare and prime location near Penn Station. On my final day in the city, I visited another of their locations- this one at historic Chelsea Market near the meatpacking district. Having enjoyed several lunches and dinners during my visit, my mom and wanted […]
Remember what I said in my last review that New York City is chock full of healthy restaurants, cafes, and eateries? Well the city is also home to every ethnic cuisine known to man. Inday, an eatery located in the Flatiron district, is a good blending of the two concepts, because it is an Indian restaurant specializing in food that is as good for you as it is delicious. With a focus on […]
If it’s anything, New York is laden with tons of restaurants and cafes with health halos. Organic, paleo, farm-to-table, gluten-free, vegan. You name it, New York City has it. With so many options, I had difficulty narrowing down which restaurants I wanted to visit over the course of the roughly two days I’d actually be in the city. Catching my eye and winning out over others was Mulberry & Vine, a health […]
I’ve been to New York City two other times before this visit, but had so far failed to eat pizza in this city known for it’s distinctive style. On this third visit, I decided to make it a mission to seek out gluten and dairy-free pizza, and all roads pointed to Don Antonio by Starita in the theater district, a block or two from Times Square. Don Antonio is a joint venture […]
My first day in in New York City promised to start with a bang because the time had finally come for my mom and I to see Hamilton, a show we’ve anticipated for months since buying tickets last year. After dropping our bags at our hotel, we headed to the theater for the impromptu ticket lottery pre-show (dubbed Ham4Ham). Having a little over an hour between Ham4Ham and the matinee, […]
May is a month chock-full with awareness initiatives, including celiac disease awareness month and food allergy awareness week. To help gluten-free folks and other dietarily restricted eaters a way to celebrate deliciously without fear, subscription box company Love with Food partnered with allergen-free food giant Enjoy Life Foods to curate a top eight allergen free box to send to subscribers to celebrate the month of May. I am not a subscriber to Love […]
Update: Sweet Note Bakery has changed their name to The Greater Knead. Although they have a new name, they still sell the same top-quality bagels. If you’ve hung around my social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), you’ve probably picked up that I’m quite a mega fan of Sweet Note Bakery, which offers gluten-free and top eight allergen free bagels. I first discovered this company in Philly back in 2014, and have […]
Subscription boxes are a hot new trend in the gluten-free world, with a variety of box services popping up on my radar in recent years. However, I have never signed up for one, because typically they focus on one allergy, which means that dairy would limit the amount of products I could enjoy. Vegan subscription boxes exist too, but there gluten can be an issue. Luckily Gr8box, a new food allergy […]
