TIP comes to the East Coast
For years, choosing Food Allergy Institute meant choosing Long Beach. From 15 September 2026 it does not — which changes some things and not others.
Food Allergy Institute opens its New Jersey clinic on 15 September 2026 — its first location outside Southern California, bringing the Tolerance Induction Program within driving distance of the New York metro area. What changes: the travel arithmetic for East Coast families, who previously flew to Long Beach every 8–12 weeks. What does not: the program’s cost structure ($979–$1,079 a month, 2.5–4 years), its proprietary evidence base, and the questions worth asking any provider. New locations also add their own questions — staffing depth, protocol consistency, and whether a fresh waitlist fills instantly. Latitude already operates four New York clinics, so East Coast families now have genuine in-person choice. Curex competes with both.

What changes
The travel maths, mostly
More than half of FAI’s patients have historically travelled from outside California — East Coast families among them, flying in every 8–12 weeks for years. A New Jersey location converts those flights into drives for the New York metro area, which is a real reduction in the travel burden that makes multi-year programs fail.
What the opening does not change: the program itself — its published pricing, duration, proprietary protocol, and the evidence questions that apply in any zip code.
Curex competes in this market — we run the only fully at-home food allergy program — so read this page as a competitor’s honest summary of the public record and verify against the sources.
East Coast landscape
What in-person choice now looks like
- FAI New Jersey (from 15 Sept 2026) The Tolerance Induction Program — aggressive, proprietary, subscription-priced. New location; ask the newness questions.
- Latitude — four NY-area clinics Established locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Long Island and White Plains, with published in-network insurer lists.
- Local OIT allergists Standard published protocols, offered off-label at specialist practices — availability varies; ask your allergist directly.
- Fully at-home (Curex) The only fully at-home program — gentler sublingual treatment via telemedicine, no geography requirement at all.
❓Frequently Asked Questions
The clinic’s site announces a New Jersey location opening 15 September 2026 — its first outside the Los Angeles area, alongside its Long Beach headquarters and South Bay presence. Exact address and intake details: confirm with the clinic, as pre-opening information changes.
The questions specific to newness: which clinicians run it and how long they trained on the protocol at Long Beach; whether complex cases still route to California; how a new location’s waitlist is seeded (transfer priority versus new intake); and whether pricing or visit cadence differs. A new location of an established program is usually fine — but “usually” is exactly what a written answer beats.
It makes it a reachable choice, which is different. Latitude already runs four New York-area clinics (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Long Island, White Plains) with published in-network insurance relationships. The two programs differ in protocol, pricing model, and evidence posture — [the comparison page](/learn/food-allergy-institute-vs-latitude) lays them side by side. And for families for whom no clinic schedule works, the at-home route exists regardless of geography.
If you experience sudden difficulty breathing, throat swelling, or other signs of anaphylaxis, call 911. A prescribed epinephrine auto-injector is the first-line treatment — not antihistamines.
