    Are so cute (at least the one that I visited today)… and now I get why people live there…

    And… I loved being able to order a kosher gluten-free egg white omelet made to my liking on the go!

    Isn’t it so nice to have everything right there?

    Do people and families live within walking distance to Central Ave?

    If so, do they need a car? Well… probably for work, and getting about to the city and schools, I guess?

    Thank you ☺

    what is so special about gluten free eggs (I didn’t know eggs have gluten)

    I advise you not to move to the five towns (or far rockaway) it gets too crowded as is

    Omgosh the Five Towns…Are so cute

    This is certainly up for debate (and I’m sure it has been debated extensively), but I think you would say “is” not “are”.

    Anything cooked can become cross contaminated with gluten.

    rebyidd23: true…but LB didn’t say she was in a gluten free establishment. Eggs are gluten free. I can cook an egg in my house and it will be gluten free.

    Gluten isn’t a real thing. It’s just a myth invented by the same people who gave me this stupid brown garbage can.

    Silly me, I thought “towns” was plural.

    Oh, I thought the brown garbage cans was in NYC. I didn’t know they was in the Five Towns too.

    Meno: Then please explain the term high-gluten when it comes to bread flour.

    Simple. It’s flour with a lot of something that doesn’t exist.

    Meno was just being a curmudgeon in saying that gluten doesn’t exist. There are people who really need to avoid gluten (e.g. they have celiac disease), but most people who avoid gluten do so because it’s the latest health food fad.

    Coffee Addict, is it becoming more so or less so? I thought at one time it was more MO, and then a larger number of non-MO moved in.

    Year’s ago it was majority NO but no more. Who h is not to say that there still isn’t a significant MO population
    Except for Inwood each town has a Young Israel with Woodmere, at close to 1500 families and 7 daily shacharis minyans, being the largest. By the way, despite the name, they are not legally towns. They are either villages or unincorporated areas in the Town of Hempstead

    There used to be MOs living in Brooklyn. Many moved to the Five Towns years ago. Where’d they move to from there — Teaneck?

    AFAIK, there hasn’t been an exodus of MOs from the 5T. There are still lots of MOs in the 5T, but there are also lots of frum Jews of other stripes.
