There have been numerous discussions on this board about various restaurants in New York--most of them have gotten positive reviews.

I have enjoyed meals at:

Sambuca

Lumi

Nizza

Nice Matin

Candle 79

Lili's 57

Risotteria

Friedmann's Lunch

A good source of recommendations (especially for NYC) is: www.glutenfreerestaurants.org

Also, does anyone know of a bakery in NYC where I can buy fresh gluten free bread? (sandwich-type bread, not cake)

Tulu's, my favorite cupcake place on 11st & 1 ave sometimes has bread (although personally i didn't love it). The Whole Foods by me (White Plains) now carries Udi's Breads UNFROZEN in the bread section so I guess that's closest to "fresh".

Babycakes has AMAZING doughnuts, crumb cakes, chocolate chip banana bread, etc.

As others have said, Bistango, Mozzarelli's and Risotteria are all AMAZING! Lumi is fantastic for special occasions.

They're not exactly places we go as NY'ers but they do have at least one location each in the city that I know of so it's worth mentioning that Outback and Pizzeria Uno have gluten-free menus.

I haven't been but there is a place on the UWS called Cafe 82 that does a lot of gluten-free events.

Peter's on the UES is a diner type of restaurant with a HUGE gluten free menu. Great for comfort food.

The Heartland Brewery by Port Authority has a gluten-free menu. So far only this location has it (which is really annoying since the one in Times Sq. is literally outside my office building).

Also FANTASTIC are Pala, Emporio and Rubirosa.

Check out this site as well: Open Original Shared Link

If you ever travel outside the city to Westchester or Long Island there are tons of great restaurants with gluten free menus in those areas also.

It might just be me...but I wasn't all that impressed with Babycakes. I mean it was good but I wouldn't make that haul out to get them again if I were in town.

I think it depends what you get. Honestly, I don't love their cupcakes. I had them once and never got them again. I do have friends that love them but I wasn't a big fan. However I think the doughnuts are incredible and I could eat their blueberry crumb cake and chocolate chip banana bread all day, every day!

NYC may be the best city in the world to be Celiac. There are tons of choices, and more every month. There are also options at all different price points.

For Italian, Lumi, Bistango, Emporio, and Nizza are all very good. Risotteria is a must try and is always the first that you hear about upon Celiac diagnosis, and I enjoy it, but it's not my favorite. Really, the gluten-free Italian restaurant market is pretty saturated these days.

Mozzarelli's is the only NY style by-the-slice pizza place that offers gluten free. I go there all the time for lunch. Most of the others are sit down, whole pie style.

S'Mac is good and cheap, Mac and cheese. Cafe 82 or Peter's for diner fare. Ruby Foo and Lilly and Loo make Chinese. Ruby Foo is pretty much a PF Chang's clone.

At this point though, there are options in nearly every neighborhood of Manhattan, and even Queens, Brooklyn, and Hudson County, NJ have multiple options. If you know what you want, you can generally find it gluten-free somewhere in NYC.

      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

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
