hey nyorkers.... any good stuff going on city--exhibits etc? free or cheap stuff? my mom have some shows etc booked, but want some good activity ideas from the locals. we are going at end of month--25-29th.

The Sony Wonder technology lab is pretty cool. It's free, it's designed for kids, BUT there is a ton of interesting history on technology and electronics. My borther and I (31 and 22, respectively) really like it. It's a fun way to spend time. It's in the Sony building, but I don't remember the cross streets.

Staten Island ferry is free and the best way to get good photos of the skyline and the statue of liberty from a distance.

The Central Park Zoo is cheap, and it's my favorite zoo in the whole wide world! They have A LOT of penguins :) (my favorite)

Also in Central Park- Belvedere Castle is pretty cool, and free

Bike rentals in Central Park aren't too expensive.

Even the Met (metropolitain museum of art) isn't very expensive, and you can easily spend your whole day there. A whole week even.

I'll try and think of some other stuff :)

Thanks Chelsea--good ideas. Sony would be fun! I was thinking about the CP zoo too--so you think its pretty good? For about 4 years from HS to college, my mom and I got to go to NYC once a year...but its been 5 or 6 years now since. We have tickets to Wicked, can't wait! My mom just wanted some nice cheaper alternatives too so we weren't spending the dough constantly :)

The Met is where I got engaged :)

So ofcourse I suggest this. LOL!

They look monstrous, but you simply MUST get one while at Risotteria. Worth the trip alone.

I've been to lots of zoos all over the country, including the san diego zoo, but my favorite by far is the Central Park zoo. It's not the biggest zoo, and it's not the most impressive, but it's got so much charm! They have polar bears, a big rainforest building, seals, lots of penguins. I've been there a million times and I never get sick of it.

I got engaged in Central Park, maybe that's why I'm such a fan :wub:

Um, beware the carriage rides early in the day...you'll smell like horses all day! :P

DH proposed on a carriage ride at 11am...by 6pm at Tavern on the Green, we were still a bit "horsey" :lol:

Totally! But even better if you pry the cookies apart, sprinkle a little salt in, and put them back together and eat it that way.

Get one to go, too! If they have cake when you're there, I'm going to be wicked jealous, though, because they never have when I've been there. The brownies are moister than they look, but as someone somewhere here said, taste a little more like a blondie (ie just not very chocolatey).

And the breadsticks - if you get those to go, you can take them home and have bread and cheese for days (if they go a little tough the next day, stick them in the oven and they crisp right up). The first time I bit into one of those breadsticks, I did a double-take like you wouldn't believe, because I couldn't believe it was really gluten-free and was looking to see if I could see any signage about it. My friend was like "is it awful?" and I was like "nooooo, I just...he did say it was gluten-free, didn't he?"

Anything interesting or good restaurants in Brooklyn? I think we are going to church at Brooklyn Tabernacle on Sunday...

There is a restaurant in downtown Brooklyn called Gage and Tolliver. One of the oldest restaurants in NYC. I have always loved it -- very old school, gas lighting, dishes like Oysters Rockefeller etc. Anyway, it turns out that they are celiac friendly. Check it out!

Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      Cricket Flour Makes Really Good Gluten-Free Bread

      Your concern about certified gluten-free cricket powder is completely valid, as cross-contamination in both feedstock and processing is a real issue. Currently, the availability of certified gluten-free options is limited, but brands like Chapul and Entomo Farms, which I believe have offered products processed in dedicated facilities and labeled gluten-free...

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
