Gluten-Free Mexico City Top Picks

Hi! I’m Sarah and I recently took a girls trip to Mexico City, where I lived as a kid. I managed to find amazing safe places to eat while staying gluten free, and one of my girlfriends on the trip has the same allergies as my son: tree nuts and eggs and is also allergic to peanuts. Our absolute favorite meal of the trip was at Casa Virginia—a must-visit! My girlfriend had the sopes, sea bass, and crème brûlée, and I loved the sopes and risotto, if you don’t speak Spanish, you’ll want to bring an allergy translation card, I had our Equal Eats card on hand. A really fun thing to do while you’re there is a hot air balloon ride in Tenochtitlan over the pyramids—absolutely stunning and so worth the early wake-up. Follow me on Spokin @thedyercrew!

Matt’s Gluten-Free London Top Picks

Hi! I’m Matt from @glutenfreestreetgang and have been living gluten free in London for the past 6 years. I’ve shared some of my absolute favorite local London finds on the Spokin app, which are featured in this guide. If I could only pick one essential London spot, it would be Manna Dew to get a croissant, cheese twist, and one of everything they bake. London is famous for fish & chips and afternoon tea: Wicked Fish and the Charlie & The Chocolate Factory afternoon tea are my top spots to find them! While eating is a big highlight in London, there’s more to do here than just eat. My favorite activities outside of eating are: 1. Going to a market where local London and visitor London intersect. Borough Market is a classic, but Broadway Market is great to get off the beaten tourist path. 2. See the incredible parks London has to offer. Richmond Park, Victoria Park, or a stroll along the Regent’s Canal towpath are my go-to parks 3. Grab a cocktail at a vibey cocktail bar. Coupette and Equal Parts are my current top picks. 4. It’s cliche, but the museums in London never get old. The V&A and the British Museum have incredible permanent exhibits and an ever-changing list of special temporary ones. 5. As a transportation nerd, I can’t get enough of the London Transport Museum’s events. Their train depot is worth a trip and they even offer tours of abandoned tube stations!

5 Gluten-Free Restaurants in Tulum

Hi, I’m Lauryn, I am allergic to gluten, dairy, soy, hazelnut, peanut, flaxseed, corn, and pineapple. My husband and I spent a few days in Tulúm for the second time. We stayed at Jashita hotel and did plenty of snorkeling. We enjoyed the fresh, allergy-friendly options at their restaurant Pandano (they even made me French fries fried in olive oil!). We ate at Burrito Amor and KENGAI, both were amazing and super accommodating for all my allergies. My highlight of the trip was The Better Donut, they are incredible with food allergies (I emailed them in advance) and they made an assortment of safe, healthy donuts for me to enjoy!
