There have been numerous discussions on this board about various restaurants in New York--most of them have gotten positive reviews.

I have enjoyed meals at:

Sambuca

Lumi

Nizza

Nice Matin

Candle 79

Lili's 57

Risotteria

Friedmann's Lunch

A good source of recommendations (especially for NYC) is: www.glutenfreerestaurants.org

Also, does anyone know of a bakery in NYC where I can buy fresh gluten free bread? (sandwich-type bread, not cake)

Tulu's, my favorite cupcake place on 11st & 1 ave sometimes has bread (although personally i didn't love it). The Whole Foods by me (White Plains) now carries Udi's Breads UNFROZEN in the bread section so I guess that's closest to "fresh".

Babycakes has AMAZING doughnuts, crumb cakes, chocolate chip banana bread, etc.

As others have said, Bistango, Mozzarelli's and Risotteria are all AMAZING! Lumi is fantastic for special occasions.

They're not exactly places we go as NY'ers but they do have at least one location each in the city that I know of so it's worth mentioning that Outback and Pizzeria Uno have gluten-free menus.

I haven't been but there is a place on the UWS called Cafe 82 that does a lot of gluten-free events.

Peter's on the UES is a diner type of restaurant with a HUGE gluten free menu. Great for comfort food.

The Heartland Brewery by Port Authority has a gluten-free menu. So far only this location has it (which is really annoying since the one in Times Sq. is literally outside my office building).

Also FANTASTIC are Pala, Emporio and Rubirosa.

Check out this site as well: Open Original Shared Link

If you ever travel outside the city to Westchester or Long Island there are tons of great restaurants with gluten free menus in those areas also.

It might just be me...but I wasn't all that impressed with Babycakes. I mean it was good but I wouldn't make that haul out to get them again if I were in town.

I think it depends what you get. Honestly, I don't love their cupcakes. I had them once and never got them again. I do have friends that love them but I wasn't a big fan. However I think the doughnuts are incredible and I could eat their blueberry crumb cake and chocolate chip banana bread all day, every day!

NYC may be the best city in the world to be Celiac. There are tons of choices, and more every month. There are also options at all different price points.

For Italian, Lumi, Bistango, Emporio, and Nizza are all very good. Risotteria is a must try and is always the first that you hear about upon Celiac diagnosis, and I enjoy it, but it's not my favorite. Really, the gluten-free Italian restaurant market is pretty saturated these days.

Mozzarelli's is the only NY style by-the-slice pizza place that offers gluten free. I go there all the time for lunch. Most of the others are sit down, whole pie style.

S'Mac is good and cheap, Mac and cheese. Cafe 82 or Peter's for diner fare. Ruby Foo and Lilly and Loo make Chinese. Ruby Foo is pretty much a PF Chang's clone.

At this point though, there are options in nearly every neighborhood of Manhattan, and even Queens, Brooklyn, and Hudson County, NJ have multiple options. If you know what you want, you can generally find it gluten-free somewhere in NYC.

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By trents · Posted

      @Manaan2, have you considered the possibility that she might be cross reacting to some food or foods that technically don't contain gluten but whose proteins closely resemble gluten. Chief candidates might be dairy (casein), oats (avenin), soy, corn and eggs. One small study showed that 50% of celiacs react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) like they do gluten.
