Had to share some of our suggestions for traveling in NYC...we had a safe trip!!! (And ate lots of good food!!!)
I did read the
http://allergicgirlrecommends.blogspot.com/ and got the great recommendation of going to Blue Smoke - a BBQ place. They have a special nut free menu-including dessert!!! DS was so happy to get dessert-such a treat! Blue Smoke is at 116E 27th street (btw Park & Lex) Great food!!!
From the link to the hyperboards I got the suggestion of Landmarc. We ate our Thanksgiving meal there-at the one in Tribeca. No problems getting in. Also wonderful food and allergy aware.
We ate at the Ellis Island cafe after speaking with someone to make sure it was safe. Needed something to eat after visiting the Statue of Liberty and touring Ellis Island.
After my own research on line I found "The Donut Pub." A nut free place for donuts...similar to Dunkin Donuts, but no nuts! DS was in heaven! Very special treat! This place is at 203 W 14th St (At 7th ave).
Also on line, I found "Eleni's." A nut free bakery with the most scrumptious cupcakes we have ever tasted!!! It has lots of other nut free goodies (like chocolate covered pretzels) too! They also specialize in decorated sugar cookies. The girl who worked there also had a nut allergy and was so nice to our DS. This was a wonderful place! The one we went to was in Chelsea Market, but I think they have one on Madison Ave too.
Needless to say my DS now wants to move to NYC!!! LOL!!! So many great SAFE places to choose from. Not like the same old same old where we live...
