Sashimi platters are also gluten free, although they are not listed on the menu, and these platters are even MORE delicious when you ask for gluten free tamari soy sauce. Thankfully for us in the NOBREAD crowd, TAO recently updated their menu and an asterisk ‘*’ is used to indicate gluten free items! I love this new feature however, only seven, yes SEVEN, menu items are accompanied by this asterisk. So what can you have? 100% GF orders include the edamame, pad thai noodles with chicken, shrimp, or lobster, jasmine white rice, miso soup, halibut, and wok-fried potatoes. TAO’s menu is huge, and with so many options it can be difficult for both the gluten-free person and gluten-full person to decide what to order. Why? Naturally gluten free foods are drowned in soy, teriyaki and other nobread unfriendly sauces and sushi rice is malted with vinegar and other gluten culprits… I was incredibly excited, yet also nervous to go to TAO, as Asian food is difficult for a gluten free diet. Tables packed with celebrities, Wall Street types hosting client dinners, and girls celebrating “girl’s nights out” fill the space and Tao’s décor is an experience in itself. She also made boozy cake ball souvenirs for the guests.Since its opening in October 2013, TAO Downtown has been the talk of NYC. Its still on my kitchen table as I want to keep it for as long as possible. These beautiful flowers, given to me by my coworker, lasted for 2 whole weeks.ĭanielle outdid herself, not only in planning the entire event and doing my make up but making this personalized wine bottle for me. The 30th birthday was filled with so many priceless memories.

We posed for pictures after dinner with very full tummies. Danielle and I made a pact to duplicate this very cake… so stay tuned! It was perfectly sweet without being too rich. The chocolate cake with salted caramel filling and chocolate ganache was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Everyone raved about the cake! And for most of us, after a few bites had no more stomach room for the cake. A custom made cake – exclusively available at Tao Downtown. Its good to be the birthday girl.Īnd then after dinner, the most beautiful cake I have ever received came out. I was also drinking a Tao-tini, courtesy of our waiter. I really enjoyed this after having spent so many weeks on Paleo, eating a bowl of rice for dinner was magnificent. Nearly everyone took food home- so much food. Most of the guests ordered the Pad Thai which came in giant bowls. These were good but in all honesty, the fried buns I have had in Chinatown are way better (and cheaper).īR ordered the fried chicken chow mein which was really good. We also took delight in the lazy suzan built right into the table to make sharing amongst 8, easier. It felt better to share but with so many different palates, we ordered our own entrees and opted to share appetizers.īrent ordered the chicken wing lolipops that were sticky and delicious.ĭanielle ordered the fried cauliflower, which didn’t smell as amazing as it tasted. My BR was most definitely there and made much of the night possible. My bestest friend was there as were my two favorite coworkers and his wife. My first Friend from high school was in attendance with her husband. It was dark and romantic with its Asian motif. When they said our destination “ Tao Downtown“, I sill had no idea what awaited us. We hopped into a cab on the coldest night in November, wearing a dress in what felt like 10*.

I wasn’t sure of the dress code but figured I should gussy up since its my 30th and all… My closest friend Danielle came over to ensure my hair and make up were flawless.

I had no idea where and up until days before, i had no idea when. So they plotted and schemed behind my back and my only job was to show up. Then panic set in as several options fell through and I, inevitably, decided the original plan to do nothing was the way to go.įortunately for me, my amazing boyfriend and best friends weren’t going to let that happen. And I was okay with it until several people reached out to me asking me what I was planning. It started with me not really wanting to do anything. What had given me so much anxiety and stress turned out to be one of the best birthdays I have ever had. I’m returning from my holiday break of doing absolutely nothing and loving it to post about my very special 30th Birthday dinner. Happy New Year! Hope you all had a fantastic Holiday!
