Sesame Place

[fanny]

Hi all,

This summer we are planning to take my son to Sesame Place (mini vacation) we are all excited. But I'm nervous to find myself starving in the park because I can't find gluten-free food. We are staying for a couple of days near the park. Does anyone have advice?

I live right near there. Let's see:

Sesame Place is at an entrance to Oxford Valley Mall...Inside the circle around the mall you will find

Red Robin -- Lettuce wrapped Protein Burgers and gluten-free fries

Cheeburger/Cheeburger -- create your own salads (yum!) and they will wipe down the malt/shake machine for you to make a terrific banana shake (or other flavor)....I've eaten there several times and been fine

Cheeseburger in Paradise -- They have a gluten-free menu online....If you are particular with requests to avoid cc, you will be fine.

Across the street from the mall, you will find Chili's they have a few gluten-free menu items.

There's a Don Pablo's nearby but I've been contaminated each time - I would recommend avoiding it!

If you are willing to drive a little farther away from the park, I can give you a few other suggestions.

Enjoy the trip!

Oops - I forgot, if you find yourself in a bind - leave Sesame Place and turn left onto Oxford Valley Road - go straight over Route 1 and on your right you'll see a Kohls (it's not far at all). In the Kohl's shopping center is a Superfresh with terrific produce section and an organic aisle, too.

On Sesame Place's website they say that they're willing to work with special diets/allergies. Has anyone tried this with them?

Thanks very much for useful information.
