Hi there,

I am planning a trip to New York City with my family and I am the only one who is gluten free, they don't really understand it. I would like to be as prepared as possible with restaurant suggestions, stores, etc. before I go there. Does anyone have any good recommendations for gluten free dining in New York City. We will be staying near Times Square. Any suggestions would be very welcome and appreciated!

Thank you!!!

There are tons of good gluten-free places in New York City. Risotteria is my favourite.

Yes, you MUST go to Risotteria. Also, if you are looking for something a little nicer, check out Lumi, it is amazing...Depending how long you will be here, if you need to stock up on some snacks, check out Westerly on 54th/8th - they have the best prices and selection of gluten free foods in your area. Also, you can always go to Whole Foods - either the one in Columbus Circle or the one in Chelsea - they are about equidistant from Times Square. Also, Vintage (51st/9th) was serving gluten free beer last time i went there, so you should check that out if you drink. Any other questions, feel free to ask - NYC is a gluten-free haven! :D

Like Mookie said, Risotteria and Lumi are musts!! I went to Bistango not long ago which was also excellent. It's a tiny place though and gets pretty busy for dinner so either make a reservation or maybe try it for lunch.

I just read today that Blue Smoke now has a gluten-free menu; which is awesome!!

In Times Square, there is a restaurant on 44th b/t Broadway & 6th Avenue called Osteria al Doge. They don't have a gluten free menu, but they have an incredible seafood risotto.

I've also heard that Ruby Foo's in Times Square has a gluten free menu or is accomodating.

There is a little Belgium restaurant on 43rd b/t 6th & Broadway called BXL. They have a pretty good burgers that you can order without a bun, omlettes, mussels, etc. It's across the street from my office so I eat here pretty often and they have never glutened me. So although it's not like the food is amazing, but it's good food and great for a decent lunch.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Bistango gets my vote the food is great and they are so nice there. I can't have it now because of candida issues but they even have these choclate biscotti for desert that is amazing

HI -- we just returned from a weekend in NY last night. Ruby Foo's in Times Sq has a gluten free menu and the waiter was very helpful. I carried my own packets of gluten free soy sauce to use on the fried rice, so I didn't ask if they had any. My daughter and I shared an order of chicken fried rice and a fabulous salmon dish and still had food to take back to our condo!!! We also tried Blue Smoke - and my non celiac husband LOVED it!!! I had the brisket and mashed potatoes because it was so cold and this sounded like a great winter dish and it was!!!! It was a fun place with a hopping bar and they even had Redbridge beer to go with the ribs and brisket!! I would highly recommend it if you are traveling with gluten eaters. It is at 27th and Lexington - you can walk it if it isn't bitter cold. There is a cute bar across the street called Vig 27. Bistango is always great for Italian. Risotteria is cute and fun if you are down in the village - on Bleeker street but far from Times Sq. Have a GREAT TIME!!!

I forgot to add - check out the blog site celiacchicks.com for great NY info. Also there is a book "The Gluten-Free Guide to New York" that is great to carry with you.

I also love Tini's - its like Lumi but has a great martini menu. For any of you that haven't tried it - its an upscale italian place on the Upper East Side.

Sambuca - on the Upper West Side is also gluten free. Its more of a family style italian...but I've enjoyed it.

Also, I've heard the ethiopian place downtown Ghenet is great! You have to call 24 hrs in advance so they can make their dosai gluten free for you...I'm dying to try it.

Hi,

Has anyone mentioned Candle Cafe? I have heard about it, but haven't been back to NYC to try it out. I just might have to move to New York. There are a bunch of gluten-free bakeries there too:)

They are all listed on gfregistry.com I hope you have a great trip. Eat well for all of us.

Although it's more of a coffee shop/bakery, I absolutely LOVE Open Original Shared Link.

The only thing they have are "Paolitos", as well as some cookies for dessert, but by gum, they are delicious.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      Thanks for your thoughts on this. My reactions to gluten are complex and involve more than just my heart and arteries. The problems with what It does to my cardiovascular system do present me with a bit of a conundrum at times. For instance, I had cardio bypass surgery in 2002 (at age 53) and then again had angina and artery issues in 2006. At the same time...

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      No other testing has been done at this point, though I wonder if my diagnosis will prompt that. My main symptoms have been bowel related and I’ve had severe migraines for several years now but I’ve been seeing a neurologist for that and have it under control, though I now wonder if the migraines have been a symptom of Celiac all along.

      They do use stages but only when evaluated the damage done to the villi of the small bowel after looking at the biopsy samples. I'm referring to the "Marsh" scale. As far as I know, "stages" has never been applied to blood antibody test scores. It would not be appropriate to assign stages based on antibody scores as the damage done would depend not only...

      Thanks for your thoughts on this. My reactions to gluten are complex and involve more than just my heart and arteries. The problems with what It does to my cardiovascular system do present me with a bit of a conundrum at times. For instance, I had cardio bypass surgery in 2002 (at age 53) and then again had angina and artery issues in 2006. At the same time, I was also suffering symptoms of early onset dementia while also experiencing symptoms of psychosis. That was when I discovered I had celiac and went on a. gluten-free diet. On that diet, my psychosis disappeared, my chest pain stopped and my cognitive issues also cleared up. Subsequently I began running and exercising again with no cardio problems. And my stress tests and cardio exams since then showed no evidence of artery problems. Plus, my lipid panels showed significant changes. My arteriosclerosis had started in 1992. At that time, my HDL cholesterol had always been measured in the 20s even though I exercised religiously, ate what was supposed to be a heart-healthy diet and was never overweight. After going on a gluten-free diet in 2006, my HDLs have been in the 60s and 70s. Since then, my usual symptoms of ingesting gluten are a temporary increase in blood pressure and certain intense types of hypnogogic hallucinations. The Afib stuff is a recent development. I will be discussing all of this again with my cardiologist in May. I discuss some of this in my substack (no paywall) at https://diaryofapreviouslydementedpoet.substack.com/

      They do use stages but only when evaluated the damage done to the villi of the small bowel after looking at the biopsy samples. I'm referring to the "Marsh" scale. As far as I know, "stages" has never been applied to blood antibody test scores. It would not be appropriate to assign stages based on antibody scores as the damage done would depend not only the antibody levels in the blood at the time of testing but the duration of it and the intensity of it over time since the onset. And those are all very subjective things. I understand your concern about irreparable damage done to body systems but you are fairly young and your body still has very good rejuvenation powers. Is there laboratory or medical evidence that anything other than the lining of your small bowel has been compromised yet? Do you have bone demineralization for instance or unexplained dental decay or neurological deficits? Stuff like that? It took 13 years to arrive at a diagnosis of celiac disease in my case from the first laboratory evidence (elevated liver enzymes) of onset and by that time I had developed osteopenia. I was 50 or 51 at the age of diagnosis.
