For Christmas I am most likely getting to go to New York!! We will be staying by Rokefeller (you can see the ice skating from out the window!) Are there any good gluten free resturaunts around there, or actually anywhere in NYC? I will be with 4 people that eat gluten, so it would be great if it was somewhere that specialized in gluten-free but tasted super good! Thanks for any sugestions!

NY is celiac heaven :)

There aren't any restaurants right by Rockefeller Center that have a gluten free menu, but there are tons of options. For a quick bite for lunch there is Hale & Hearty in Rockefeller Center (they have soup & salad). All the ingredients for their soup is on the back of the card with the name of the soup, and you can just ask to see the card. Almost all of their soups are gluten-free, with the obvious exceptions (anything with pasta). There are Hale & Hearty locations all over the city, but there is one right there.

You can take the F train which is right in RC to West 4th street, to Risotteria, which has gluten-free pizza! A favorite of everyone.

One of my favorite restaurants is Bistango. You can either take a cab to or take a short walk to Grand Central and then take the 6 train to 28th street and walk down a few block. They can make just about anything on their menu gluten-free and I heard recently started making pizza aswell. This is a great place for a nice lunch or a casual dinner. But if you go for dinner make reservations. It's a small place and a neighborhood favorite, so it gets filled up. The food is awesome. They even serve bruschetta on gluten-free bread that is amazing.

Another favorite of mine, is Lumi. This is the perfect place for a nice romantic dinner or just a quiet dinner with a group of friends. It's a wonderful atmosphere and the food is incredible.

Another place with great gluten-free pizza is Mozzarelli's. They are on 23rd Street, b/t Park & Madison. You can either take the 6 train or the N/R to 23rd Street and it will put you just down the street.

Check out this site for more restaurants in NYC with gluten-free menus, but those are some of my favorites.

Don't be afraid to go to restaurants that don't have a gluten-free menu though. I eat at restaurants all over the city and have only been glutened once. I simply tell the server that I am allergic to wheat & gluten. Many know it's celiac; and even when they don't this is not the first time they've heard it. NY'ers are used to anything and everything - not much phases us or comes across as high maintenance ;)

Thank you so much! That was such a huge help!!

Yeah, we will def. try out non-gluten-free resturaunts, but since I am from Texas and dont know of anywhere that serves gluten-free pizza or anything, I figured that I might as well try a couple of places out!

Thanks again!

Ditto on this!!!! Even my gluten eating husband thought the breadsticks were some of the best he's ever had!

Sambuca has excellent Italian food, I shared a family style sized pasta dish with a non-celiac friend and she couldn't even tell it was made with rice pasta. They also have pretty good bread and an amazing gluten free brownie. The service is always great, and they go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable and your food is safe. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who misses a good Italian meal!

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      It has been the most terrible illness ever! Going on 3 weeks now… I had chicken pox as a kid… crazy how much havoc this dormant virus has caused after being reactivated! No idea what even caused it to fire back up. I’m scared this pain and sensitivity is just never going to improve or go away

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover from such a challenge, so why do this if you already know that gluten is the culprit and you won't be eating it anyway?  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS--but those in this group will usually have negative tests, or at best, elevated antibodies that don't reach the level of official positive. Unfortunately test results for celiac disease are not always definitive, and many errors can be made when doing an endoscopy for celiac disease, and they can happen in many ways, for example not collecting the samples in the right areas, not collecting enough samples, or not interpreting the results properly and giving a Marsh score.  Many biopsy results can also be borderline, where there may be certain damage that could be associated with celiac disease, but it just doesn't quite reach the level necessary to make a formal diagnosis. The same is true for blood test results. Over the last 10 years or so a new "Weak Positive" range has been created by many labs for antibody results, which can simply lead to confusion (some doctors apparently believe that this means the patient can decide if they want more testing or to go gluten-free). There is no "Weak Negative" category, for example. Many patients are not told to eat gluten daily, lots of it, for the 6-8 week period leading up to their blood test, nor asked whether or not they've been eating gluten. Some patients even report to their doctors that they've been gluten-free for weeks or months before their blood tests, yet their doctors incorrectly say nothing to them about how this can affect their test, and create false negative results. Many people are not routinely given a total IGA blood test when doing a blood screening, which can lead to false negative interpretations if the patient has low IGA. We've seen on this forum many times that some doctors who are not fully up on how interpret the blood test results can tell patients that the don't need to follow a gluten-free diet or get more testing because only 1 of the 2 or 3 tests done in their panel is positive (wrong!), and the other 1 or 2 tests are negative.  Dermatologists often don't know how to do a proper skin biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis, and when they do it wrongly their patient will continue to suffer with terrible DH itching, and all the risks associated with celiac disease. For many, the DH rash is the only presentation of celiac disease. These patients may end up on strong prescriptions for life to control their itching which also may have many negative side effects, for example Dapsone. Unfortunately many people will continue to suffer needlessly and eat gluten due to these errors in performing or interpreting celiac disease tests, but luckily some will find out about non-celiac gluten sensitivity on their own and go gluten-free and recover from their symptoms. Consider yourself lucky if you've figured out that gluten is the source of your health issues, and you've gone gluten-free, because many people will never figure this out.
