Flor's Kitchen, Nyc

[Guest laughs8]

Just thought I'd post another NYC place that's gluten-friendly: Flor's Kitchen. I met up with some friends at their West Village branch (they've got another spot on 1st Ave), we ordered some sangria, a few salads, some arepas and some empanadas. Unlike most places I know of (which, granted, aren't that many in number), they make of their empanada dough with corn, not wheat. The few that were wheat were labeled as such. This was the first time I'd had arepas, which are basically fried empanadas, and they were quite good--we had ones filled with chicken, chicken and avocado, and bean/cheese plaintain, as well as some with beef which I didn't try. I'm fairly asymptomatic, but for what it's worth, all I felt after eating at Flor's was full--and that's not really something to complain about.

Thank you SO much for this post. I read this, tried it, and loved it. I must have eaten there five times in the last two months. Not only that, I went there in a group, and all seven of us loved the place, which has never happened before. The ceviche is amazing, and the arepa barlovento... mmm. Thank you thank you thank you!!
