Oh so optional...... drools

Those are optional!

Probably has something to do with the rolls & cinnamon sugar butter.

their maple sriracha brussels sprouts are outrageously good

Second Pianta - my partner is dairy and nut free and loves that she can eat everything on their menu.

Zooma has GF pasta

Yeah, re: LI, our immediate neighborhood was ok. My husband’s family has been there since the 70s and they know a lot of the other families. But just a few minutes away, and I would see big old Trump flags and all that MAGA stuff. The plus side was that the woods and the beach were nearby.

Do you have the app Find Me Gluten Free? I highly recommend it. For folks like me who have celiac disease, it helps weed out restaurants that are simply offering items that they think are GF, from those that are really good at allergies and avoid contamination.

That said, some highlights are 110 grill, Ten steakhouse and sushi, India. More casual options include Malted Barley (I know the name sounds like a major red flag, but they are excellent at allergies).

PiANTA and Plant City are both great vegan restaurants with plenty of gluten free options! Massimo on atwells also has a whole gluten free menu but it’s Italian, so may not be as vegan-friendly.

I’m putting on a music and comedy show at Askew called Love Stories and Other Misfortunes 5:30-7:30pm on Saturday! Not food related but a fun idea for something different.

Nice! I moved there in 2000 ("small-town girl in the big city" aesthetic) & left for a while after 9/11. I returned for several stints over the years for work. I've only ever resided in Brooklyn or Queens. I've worked and volunteered in those areas of Manhattan, though.

But I will say that I commend you a great deal for living on Long Island, especially during COVID. I hope it was okay out there. Too many areas on Long Island give me either a "Blue Velvet" or a "Black Hole Sun" vibe.

Hope to see you around. :)

Pianta recently opened on Atwells. They're completely vegan and most of their stuff is also gluten free (it's all clearly marked on the menu)

> And I hope you've stopped harassing women on here.

I never started, but I see continuing to lie about people on here. Can I ask you to stop doing that?

> You're being asked to stop following people around.

Again, I am not following you. You will see I talk to anyone and everyone on here. You are not special.

>I graciously decline your invitation to leave my local subreddit, and would like to reiterate that it's not about you.

Nobody is asking you to leave. You're being asked to stop following people around.

And I hope you've stopped harassing women on here.

>neat, that’s plainly untrue. create a text post, and the third option from the left on your toolbar there? right after bold and italics? that’s a link. just add the link into a text post.

You lose the picture doing it that way.

And how about discussing the topic? You are purposefully derailing.

I lived in a few neighborhoods in Lower Manhattan during my 15 years in NYC: Tribeca, the Financial District, and most recently the East Village. We left when things shut down for COVID in March 2020. We lived with family on Long Island until Sept 2021, when we moved to Boston for my husband’s work. Then we moved to Providence last October.

We recently went the Crepe Corner in Pawtuxet Village. All crepes are $2 extra as GF. We didn't opt for GF, but pancakes are one GF food that I prefer over Gluten types. I only use Red's GF pancake mix at home. Their thinner and crisper - which I prefer.

We're planning a trip to Paris, and this was like a short visit there - without speaking French.

Thank you, it’s not like op said “vegan girlfriend”

IDK why you're being downvoted. He didn't say a peanut allergy. Plus, nothing more romantic than going up to the display case to pick out your own steaks and then having them switch it out the second you start heading back to the table.

GF is not an issue for me or my SO, but my favorite celebration restaurant is Los Andes. I believe they have GF options.

I wouldn't go there on the day, since it books up well in advance. If you and your SO can celebrate on another day, I'd go then.

I avoid Valentines Day reservations at all costs, but I have gone to a BYOB place or a nice brewpub (that doesn't take reservations) when it absolutely, positively had to be on Feb 14.

GF is not an issue for me or my SO, but I will second O'Dinis. It's small and doesn't take reservations, which may be an issue on V Day.

Also, for nearby Indian, I like Not Just Snacks (casual lunch) and Rasoi (nice lunch or dinner).

Both are nearby India, which I also like. Go to India when you can sit outside or for the buffet/brunch.

Oddly enough, I take Uber in all other cities except Providence. It just occurred to me. lol

When did you relocate from NYC? And what part (if you don't mind my asking).

Second Tea in Sahara - love that place! But part of the fun is showing up to see if he's decided to open that day or not - place has the most hilariously random hours

My favorite place as a gf girlie is hands down Blackie’s in Smithfield!!!! Just about everything is available gf and delicious. Great drinks. My non-gf friends love it as well. I’m not dairy free but I know they have dairy free and vegan options as well
