Pistachio macaroon
So Friday, my boyfriend and I flew to NYC for the NYC half marathon 2015. I wish I could say I’m the one running…. But alas, no! However, I am here to enjoy the feeding frenzy, (not to mention the brief respite from work) that precedes any athletic event and want to mention some notable locations!
After a long walk through the beautiful, but somewhat frozen, Central Park, we decided to get gelato… And found Grom. This gem on Broadway just off Central Park has all natural, organic and gluten free products that are just incredible. I would post a photo of the hot chocolate, but I drank it too fast! Heavenly! Thick molten chocolate with a side of whipped cream so cold and perfect that it maintained its form without melting away into the mix. The gelato was awesome too. Next time you’re in the city, it’s worth a try! www.grom.it.
My other NYC favorite is Bouchon Bakery, right off of Rockefellar center… Macaroons! Oh my! The pistachio is my all time favorite! Just ask because some flavors are not gluten free!
Finally, Eataly! Near Madison square garden… An Italian complex featuring multiple themed restaurants, shopping, and areas for wine and beer tasting… Even a fresh fruit and veggie market! Fun to visit and try out ..and safe to eat with gluten free selections including pasta! www.eataly.com.
