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!

      Gluten related ??

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies.  Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
