WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

Next Thursday--February 22, 2007--there will be at least two events for the gluten-free in NYC.

Thanks to The New York City Celiac Disease Meetup Group, there will be a happy hour at Heathers Bar (506 East 13th Street between Avenues A and B; 212-254-0979) featuring 2-for-1 drink specials from 6:00-9:00 pm; a $1 event fee will be collected. (Sounds like three very happy hours to me!) Gluten-free beer and cider will be available along with other imbibements, but keep in mind that Heathers does not serve meals and be careful not to make a ruckus, as some of the neighbors have lodged complaints about noise.

That same night, the local CSA support group gathers at 6:30 pm for dinner at the GFRAP restaurant Bistango (415 Third Avenue at East 29th Street; 212-725-8484). Reservations should be made by Tuesday, February 20. Call Merle (212-662-2464) or Mary (212-304-1026) for more information.
