I dont know where the thread is but i can tell you you MUST go to Risotteria (risotterianyc.com) while u are here if you havent been there. If u are here on a tuesday, they have gluten-free pasta on tuesdays. Where are you staying? I have been to Sambuca (upper west side) www.sambucanyc.com and i liked it but it has gotten mixed reviews from others. Everyone seems to like Lumi (east side) as well. I dont know if you will be in town long enough to buy food but if u need to pick up anything there are several whole foods, a brand new trader joes in union square, and my personal favorite is Westerly, which is at 54th/8th. For more ideas check out glutenfreerestaurants.org and ask away if you have questions about a particular restaurant! :)

Jen-- the gluten-free pizza is ALWAYS available, as well as yummy risotto and paninis. And be sure to try the carrot cake, it is EXCELLENT! and the fudgie (two chocolate chip cookies w/ frosting in between). And while we're on the subject of desserts (my fav subject) try babycakes as well- its a bakery in the lower east side that was just rated by New York mag the best cupcakes in NYC (and NOT just gluten free cupcakes!) they are gluten-free and dairy free, www.babycakesnyc.com. Gotta love NY, so many options!

Thankyou for this very helpful thread :) I was JUST about to post a similar topic when I saw this.

Im planning to make my first international trip from Australia as a coeliac to NEW YORK! And altho im excited im very apprehensive!

Ok so ofcourse you know Rissotteria is a must!

You also have to go to Lumi (I'll be there April 1st for a birthday dinner).

Those are my 2 favorites in the city.

I've heard Peter's is good but haven't tried it yet myself. Same thing with Babycakes. (And as someone said NY Mag just voted them best cupcakes in NYC).

Oh and just so you know, if it is warm when you are here (and hopefully it will be because I'm tired of wearing a winter coat), I've confirmed that the ice cream (obv minus the cone), from the Mister Softee ice cream trucks all over the city is gluten-free. So if you are walking around and just dying to know if you can get delicious ice cream in a cup... you can! (Don't know about the toppings).

Last summer I went to NYC. YES Risoterria is a must! They had a delicious raspberry layer cake when I was there. I almost cried, because I am a true cake-lover. As a tourist, I wanted to hit some of the well-known restaurants, and I found helpful waiters and chefs at Sardi's and Tavern on the Green. I also found health food stores that had amazing selections compared to what I was used to. Also, the Whole Foods at Washington Square had a really nice selection of fresh baked goods that we don't have in California yet. I can't wait to go back to NYC. :D

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
