Avoiding dairy doesn’t have to be hard — sticking to grilled items, salads, Asian cuisine, etc. But what if you really want something dairy, and you just can’t have it… for example, ice cream. There are various non dairy ice cream alternatives (Tofutti and So-Delicious are two of my favorites), but a new favorite has surfaced: STOGO STOGO is non dairy ice cream shop. Now I have been to plenty of cream parlors that will serve one or two sorbets or ices, but never have I been to a place that exclusively serves non dairy ice cream. This place was mind-blowing/amazing/exciting and I was so happy to have discovered it. Everything you see below is non dairy (as well as … Read the rest >

If there is ever a day to venture outside in NYC for lunch, today was that kind of day. I decided I’d head to Korilla BBQ with a friend, and see if there were any dairy free options. Korilla BBQ has been featured on Food Network’s “The Great Food Truck Race, Season 2″, and was supposed to be really good. So since we were set on going out to eat, I thought it’d be a good day to give it a try. Although their menu is online (a great thing if trying to eat out dairy free), they didn’t list their ingredients, which was frustrating. I decided I’d go and ask… Turned out not to be a problem. There was … Read the rest >

So we love sushi because it’s (relatively) healthy, tastes great, and is dairy free — except for the Americanized things like Philadelphia Rolls. It can be expensive, so that’s why we suggested making your own (www.dairyfreenyc.com/homemade-sushi-2/). This can be an inexpensive way to indulge in a great sushi lunch/dinner. But what if you don’t want to do all of that work? Is there anywhere you can enjoy sushi and not pay an arm and a leg? One of our hidden gems in New York City is Iwasaki (on 1st Avenue and 61st Street). This place is like hard boiled eggs….tough to beat (insert laughter here). Iwasaki has a “special menu” that you often have to request directly. And trust us, … Read the rest >

Do your homework before you go out to eat – Most restaurants have their menus online, and many national chains even include nutrition information on their websites. Check them out! And if you can’t find the information you need, call the restaurant, and ask what you’ll be able to eat. Pick the right restaurant! If you have a choice, pick a restaurant you know has items you can eat – or at least a place that seems like it will be accommodating (based on your research and phone call). If you can, don’t eat out at a peak time – You have a better chance of getting attentive service if you avoid the rush. The wait staff and the kitchen … Read the rest >

Tried a new brunch place on Sunday, Boca East. The restaurant had a great feel, and was very friendly to those avoiding dairy. I wasn’t able to find much information on the restaurant prior to going, (which always makes me a bit nervous), but was pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The place had a great feel, very rustic and “authentic” feeling — whatever that means. It just feels like the right word to describe the place. One big plus — I saw/overheard the owner speaking Italian to the chef… big points. There were plenty of items that seemed lactose/dairy free, but I went with the eggs and homemade sausage (at the request of a friend). The food was great, and … Read the rest >

Homemade Sushi — Spicy Tuna, Salmon Avocado, and Spicy Salmon As we’ve discussed before, sticking to Asian food is a great way to avoid dairy. Japanese, and specifically sushi, is a great example of that. If you avoid the Americanized products (i.e. Philadelphia roll), you won’t find any dairy products at a sushi restaurant. Many people think that making sushi at home can be extremely difficult, and it can be. But it doesn’t have to be. Loving sushi, I decided I wanted to make my own (especially because it can be so expensive to eat sushi out in New York City). I asked the sushi chef in our work cafeteria for some pointers (which were very helpful), and watched a … Read the rest >
