<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> The Washington Post recently covered "recommended" NYC restaurants and mentioned two that happen to be GFRAP restaurants! Following are synopses with links (that will probably work for a limited time only). The newspaper cited seafood restaurant Coast (110 Liberty St. at Church Street) as a recommended restaurant near Ground Zero. You really can't get much closer than Coast, which is also near Wall Street, Battery Park City, City Hall, and the Brooklyn Bridge. "Office workers consider it the takeout restaurant of choice, but there's also sit-down service at stools overlooking the kitchen and in a long narrow dining room....Most customers come for the fish, supplied by Coast owner Eric Tevrow's Early Morning Seafood company, and it's easy to see why, as we were tempted by the lobster roll, New England clam chowder and the oysters." Yup, you can get gf clam chowder at Coast. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A56454-2005Apr15.html The newspaper also cited Risotteria (270 Bleecker St. between Sixth and Seventh Avenues) as being family-friendly: "Risotteria, on a traditionally Italian stretch of Bleecker Street in the West Village, turns out a tremendous variety of interesting and delicate risottos with amazing speed." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A56456-2005Apr15.html Congrats to GFRAP on its fine work!
