Savoring New York's East Village

Great for gluten-free. Great for vegans. Great for food allergies.

There’s nothing more delicious than discovering great restaurants while I’m on the road. But recently, I was reminded of how many truly wonderful places there are closer to home. I’ve had family staying in New York for the past few weeks, and while we share the need for gluten-free food, they had some extra considerations, including a dairy allergy, a tree-nut allergy, and a vegan diet. That’s a lot of considerations to throw at a restaurant, but plenty of eateries on the Lower East Side were up to the challenge. Here’s where we dined out in style.
