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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
