This Saturday, I will be representing the
NYC Celiac Meetup group at the New York Celebrate Celiac event at the Affinia Hotel in Manhattan. This is the first time Gluten-Free Calendar is bringing their event to the Big Apple. I love events like this where I get to talk with fellow Meetup members, meet new people, and learn about new vendors. If you plan on attending,
be sure to stop by and say hello. I will be wearing a cute
gluten-free t-shirt (also for sale!) at the table with a red tablecloth.
Here is the most recent list of participating vendors and guest speakers:
- Udi's
- Glutino
- Delight Gluten Free
- Gluten Free Living
- Bakery on Main
