Dear List,

I've just discovered

Petit Cafe
70 Greenwich Avenue (between 7th Ave. and Perry Street)

If you don't live in New York, you might want to file this info away  
against the next time you visit and are walking around in the West  
Village.

The menu includes gluten-free cookies (oatmeal & chocolate/walnut, for  
instance), a gluten-free soup, gluten-free bread as an option for any  
of the sandwiches AND the french toast is made ONLY with gluten-free  
bread, so the griddle stays gluten-free!

Young Jason, whose place this is, seems to know his stuff. His mother  
has celiac. Understands about cross-contamination, and knows that some  
celiacs will be wary because he sells gluten items as well as gluten- 
free. But he walked me through the precautions he uses for gluten-free  
sandwich-making and I gotta say, it sounds right to me.

Caveat: this is no bargain joint. Sandwiches run around $8 or $9. But  
it's been years since I've bought a sandwich, so maybe those prices  
aren't so out of line with current reality. However, the lunch combo  
at $9 sounds reasonable—reasonable for New York, anyway: pick 2 of 3:  
1/2 sandwich, small salad, small soup; comes with sun chips, fruit or  
bottled water.

For me, quick take-out food is the hardest gap to fill in my post- 
celiac diet so I'm especially happy to have found Petit Cafe.

The usual disclaimer applies: I have no vested interest in or  
connection w. the place.

cheers on this gorgeous spring week-end -
Mary B.
