Bushwick has a mural on every other wall and a bar in every other basement, which gives the whole neighborhood the feeling that it's perpetually about to become something. The kitchens, though, are still catching up: a lot of the menus lean hard on flour, and soy sauce shows up in places it has no business being. This list is the spots that actually handle gluten-free well. A good place to start is Chilangos Taqueria for gluten-free fried food, or Bunna Cafe for gluten-free bread alongside your injera order. For more, check our picks for bars in Bushwick, and the neighboring guides for Bed-Stuy and East Williamsburg.
