Anyone Ny Metro Area.. Need Restaurant Suggestion


jkmunchkin

Recommended Posts

jkmunchkin Rising Star

Ok I need this night out like a hole in the head (I'm moving the same week as the party), and to be honest I'm so not in to the whole idea of a cheesy bachleorette party but my best friend has been living for this since I got engaged.

I need to find a restaurant in the city that will be fun (fun being the operative word, not cheesy - everyone has been informed on the evite that if they have any delusional thoughts of making me wear a big button that says bride or anything along those linese they are disinvited); but that I can eat something without agonizing to much and that everyone else will be happy with the menu selection also.

Any suggestions?

All these restaurants are in NYC and have passed the requirements of the Gluten-Free Restaurant Awareness Program to provide gluten-free dining. These would be good cause the kitchen staff already knows how to and is trained to cook gluten-free meals.

Yeah I had this list and was maybe thinking of doing Asia de Cuba, but I don't really love that place and I'm not sure the others really work for the occassion. I used to love Sambuca and that could work, but I remember you mentioning their gluten-free food wasn't that great.

Thanks celiac3270.

P.S. I went to Rissoteria again the other night. I could go there for the breadsticks alone java script:emoticon(':)')

Well, when I went to Sambucca they really overcooked the Tinkyada noodles, but others who have gone LOVED it...maybe try it yourself beforehand.

I've never been to Sambuca...but am planning on trying it soon. I would definitely recommend Asia De Cuba! Have you tried their chocolate cake for dessert?! It's delicious. Or Nobu 57...it's not on the list yet, but it is a great, fun restaurant to eat it and I went there about a week ago and I was able to eat so many different things. The chef, waitress, etc. new exactly what gluten was, it was such a relief.

I went to Asia de Cuba years ago when they first opened but to be honest I don't even remember what I had. I remember likeing it but chocolate cake could definately persuade me to go back regardless (lol)!!! That's really good to know about Nobu, definately another great option. Thanks guys!!!

Sambuca serves Southern Italian food, family style, and has been on the Upper West Side since 1987. It is the perfect place, whether you are going out for a business dinner, with the kids, or getting together with a bunch of friends. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable, and the staff is super friendly. Sambuca is proud to offer their gluten-free/wheat-free menu. The menu includes delicious salads, appetizers, 15 different pasta preparations, a variety of chicken, veal, steak, seafood and vegetable dishes, as well as homemade bread and chocolate brownies.

Liza, the owner, along with her devoted staff, is very excited about the new menu. They have all worked very closely with GFRAP to help ensure good health and good food to all of their gluten-free friends.

Chef Enrique Itteralde has worked at many great restaurants in New York. He has been at Sambuca for a few years and is very excited about our new gluten free menu.

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.
