Photo from Zagat BuzzI have always been a big fan of Heather's Bar in the East Village. Not only do I like the laid back attitude of the bar and the 2-for-1 (gluten-free) drinks during happy hour, but Heather (the owner) has always been such a great supporter of the NYC Celiac Disease Meetup group. Heather is on a gluten-free diet, so she always has some gluten-free ciders and beers ready for her customers. Heather and her staff also understand the need for dedicated taps for gluten-free ciders and they do their best to carry a couple of different gluten-free options behind the bar. Last time I was there, I had Bard's Tale and Redbridge during happy hour. Heather's Bar has also has hosted our group for multiple happy hours and we even had our 2009 holiday party at Heather's Bar.
I am excited to announce that Heather has expanded and has now opened Veronica People's Club in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Veronica People's Club will have gluten-free pastries in the morning from their coffee window. In the afternoon you can enjoy RedBridge GF beer and Blackthorn Cider in a can.
And for those of you that don't get the Heather and Veronica references, please go out and rent Heathers today. My best friend Trish and I watched this movie religiously in middle school and would quote the movie like it was going out out style. I do believe that some of the best movie quotes actually made it to our h.s. yearbooks as well. It's a classic.

gluten-free pastries big whoop!
To the anonymous commenter, this is kind of a big deal to those of us who don't have the luxury of walking up to a coffee counter and ordering something to eat while enjoying our coffee. I thank Heather for educating her staff about gluten-free needs and for offering us something to eat at her new bar/cafe Veronicas.
