I've been gluten-free for 1 year. Here's my list of favorite places to eat out, i'm sure some have been mentioned already on here already. We live in Westchester County, NY but I'm going to cover some other Metro Area places, all non-chain.

Westchester

- Chinese: Golden Wok Too in Ardsley. A massive gluten-free menu including Sesame Chicken. You know, that golden brown FRIED in the dark brown sauce Chicken! We eat here way too often.

- Italian: Enzo's in Armonk. Pasta, Entrees, Pizza. You name it, they'll make it. Open Original Shared Link

NYC:

- Tulu's Bakery on 11th St & 1st Ave. Red Velvet Cupcakes even "regular" people can't tell the difference.

- Mozzarellis 23rd & Madison. gluten-free Pizza by the slice, 12 different kinds, are you kidding me?!!! Homemade crust. Puts all other gluten-free Pizza to shame. Open Original Shared Link

- Chinese: Lilli & Loo on Lex and 61st. Very good but menu not as extensive as the place in Westchester.

Long Island:

-Italian: Cafe Rustica in Great Neck. gluten-free Chicken Parm, Pastas, Soups, etc.

-Italian: Buona Sera in Smithtown. Very large gluten-free Menu including chicken parm (fried!). This place is so good. They brought out bread to the table and I asked to send it back reminding them I was gluten-free. The waiter said "no sir, it's gluten-free." I did a double take. This bread looked, felt and tasted like real Italian bread with the little sesame seeds on top, the crispy crust and the soft white insides. Upon close inspection you can tell it's gluten-free but i've never had it better anywhere. Open Original Shared Link

Greenwich Ct:

- Meli-Melo, a Crepe place in Greenwich. They have two different kinds of gluten-free Crepes, one for the savory crepes and one for the dessert crepes. It's an amazing place! Open Original Shared Link

Albany:

- Sherry Lynn's Gluten Free Cafe. The entire freaking place is gluten-free. Order anything and just don't worry. Need i say more? Open Original Shared Link

Saratoga Springs:

- KD's Fish Fry. Want to be gluten-free and completely unhealthy at the same time? Go here for Fried Shrimp, Clams, Onion Rings, Chicken, etc, etc. Open Original Shared Link Also good for people with other allergy's. Update: they closed in October. What a shame.

I too live in Westchester and if you don't mind, I thought I'd add a few recommendations to your list.

Westchester:

97 Lake (West Harrison) - This is a new sports bar in West Harrison. The entire menu is gluten free. The only difference is the bread. The owner has celiac so you're assured that he knows what he's doing. This is quickly becoming a favorite. I've eaten there twice in the last few weeks and got wings & mac n cheese for takeout!

Rays Cafe (Rye) - Chinese.... although I second Golden Wok. I LOVE that place. Their gluten-free menu is huge!

Rye Bar & Grill (Rye) - They don't have a gluten-free menu, but they are very aware of gluten issues and are extremely nice and helpful. They do have a gluten-free button installed on their POS system to alert the kitchen of gluten-free orders.

Epsteins (Yonkers) - Kosher Delicatessen & sit down restaurant.

Halstead Avenue Bistro - Upscale American Fare. This is a nice (small) restaurant for special occasions.

Long Island:

Cafe Formaggio (Westbury) - Italian. Delicious. Huge menu

Mama's (Oakdale) - Italian. Also delicious with a huge menu. This is a must stop for me on my way to / from Montauk in the summer.

NYC:

Risotteria - Is there anyone that doesn't know about this place yet? LOL! I've actually seen tour guides mention it while waiting for a table.

Babycakes - Mmmmm! I could eat their donuts and blueberry crumb cake everyday : )

I could add lots more, but I currently have "what do I need to finish cooking for Thanksgiving" brain blockage. I'll add more as I think of them.

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
