City Dwellings Here and There- New York

So from time to time over the next month or two or more
(that sounded pretty vague) I am going to be spotlighting some of my favorite cities/places. OR places I really wish I could go to. Not really a comprehensive view of everything in that city, but just some awesome things it has to offer.

Why New York first? Why not? 

I haven't been there since February, and I really need some gluten-free/vegan red velvet cupcakes from Babycakes NYC.

AND.......my favorite band of all time Smoosh now lives there and is playing a show on Tuesday. I really wish that I could go! So close, yet so far. If only I had money and time and no school...... Yes, then lots of things in life would be different.


I like off beat and off the beaten path places. Even though this is pretty much right next to MoMA, I think it gets overlooked. The American Folk Art Museum  is sweet! The exhibit on quilts was incredible. Yes, I know that might make me sound old, but these quilts had amazing kaleidoscope designs.

Maybe the reason I love this city is the fact that I can eat pizza, ice cream, or doughnuts and not get sick because they are totally free of my food allergens! Slice has the best gluten-free vegan pizza. Get it with garlic and you will have no regrets!

There is so much more I could say about New York, but I shall save it for another day.

If you happen to find yourself randomly in NYC on Tuesday, head to the Mercury Lounge to see Smoosh perform! Listen to a tune of theirs in the meantime.

Pumpkin Season Commences

The only thing better than gluten-free donuts is gluten-free pumpkin spice donuts.    

Found out via my favorite blog on all things gluten-free Gluten Free Philly that Kinninnick has gluten-free pumpkin spice donuts (or doughnuts if you spell things the original way.)

Seriously anything pumpkin flavored I love. I wait for the days when that strange yet wonderful orange squash starts appearing everywhere. Finally, it is "pumpkin season."

The Kinninnick doughnuts (I like to change things up) are available until the end of November. You can check them out by clicking on this link: Donuts, doughnuts, donuts!

I must pose a question to all gluten-free and non-gluten free readers. What is the best place to get pumpkin flavored items? If you know any places in Philly, shout them out!

Love,
DJ Sassafra
