When you’re traveling with anxiety, one of the most stressful situations you can have to deal with is figuring out where to eat. Any given day, dealing with food can be stressful if you have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Difficulty dealing with dietary restrictions in a new or unknown area can be anxiety-inducing, as well. Either way, when you’re traveling to a new location, you probably still want to know where to eat so you can enjoy yourself and explore what the area has to offer!

We’ll let you know where to eat in some of our favorite places, why we went there, and how it went!
