ICYMI, I’ve been hosting events for the celiac community in NYC for the past few months. In January, I kicked off 2026 with a happy hour hang at the Guthrie Inn on the Upper East Side.
I somehow was able to get my hands on a box of the gluten-free Cheez-Its—and naturally, I had to bring them to happy hour to taste test. They were a huge hit with the group.
Next week, I’m hosting another happy hour for local celiacs—this time, at Hold Fast Kitchen & Spirits in Midtown West. See the details below and RSVP here.
I recently grabbed dinner at Hold Fast Kitchen & Spirits before seeing Chess on Broadway (my new obsession—seriously, it’s so good!). I was impressed by the staff’s knowledge of celiac disease and cross-contact.
I shared these loaded fries (the fries are cooked in a separate fryer) with a friend before the show, and they really hit the spot. So, I thought this would be the perfect spot to host my next happy hour!
If you’re a celiac in NYC and want to make new friends while noshing on gluten-free bites and sipping alcoholic or nonalcoholic beverages, come join me on Monday!
Hope to see you there—and drop a comment letting me know what kind of events you want to see in the future!
