Thanks to a post on astorians.com, I learned that Mundo is doing a gluten-free prix fixe meal on Monday, July 9 at 7 p.m. Mundo is one of my favorite restaurants in town, so I'm very happy to learn they are trying this out. No, I'm not gluten-intolerant, I just think it's cool. Here's the info, from the Celiac meetup group:

Hi Meg,
Thank you so much for posting this information. I know there are a number of gluten-free Astorians out there and this definitely helps to get the word out. Would you mind putting a note that you can only RSVP for this event through the NYC Celiac Disease Meetup group? Apparently Mundo is getting calls for reservations but we need to limit the RSVPs to only 15 people for this event. We can do this through our web calendar.
Thank you again for supporting our gluten-free community.

Hi Erin, I put a note at the top of this post, this morning. I apologize if posting this cause any problems for Mundo.
I'm really glad to see that there is an event like this for the gluten-free community! I am not gluten intolerant myself, but do know what it's like to have to avoid certain foods, else they cause rather unpleasant results and throw off one's entire system.
If you have events like this in the future, please let us know! I'd be happy to post them here on the blog.
Hi again,
Unfortunately due to a low RSVP rate, we have postponed this event until September. Mundo will be closed for vacation in the month of August so we will reschedule in the fall. Thank you for your support.
