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.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
