[irish]

I am from New York. I found this great restaurant called Peter's Gourment Diner and Bar located 1606 first ave. bet 83rd and 84st. Their phone is 212-734-9600.

It makes both gluten free and non-gluten free items.

I had try the following dishes: pancakes(excellent), grilled cheese (excellent),

turkey that came with potatoes cranberries, gluten free bread(excellent),

cheese cake.

Yes--they're on the GFRAP list ( Open Original Shared Link ) ...but I've never been there... I also live in NYC

I will be visiting NYC with my daughter who is a celiac in early August. I have the list from the glutenfreerestaurants website. Are there any additional restaurants that anyone can recommend? We will also be traveling to the Philadelphia and Gettysburg area, so recommendations for those areas would be appreciated as well.

Thanks.

I went to NYC last week. Besides the places on the list, I tried Sardi's and Tavern on the Green. They don't have gluten-free menus or anything, but both places were very accomodating. The chef was able to convey which sauces, etc. I should avoid. Definitely go to Risoterria while you are there. It's the best.

You should check out Risotteria, for sure.

I was thinking about checking out Peter's next time I am in town.

I was just in NYC and fell in love with "Rice to Riches"...It's like an ice cream parlor selling rice pudding - over 70 flavors! I'm not 100% sure it's all gluten-free, but I didn't get sick, only happy! It's on Spring Street just on the edge of the village. Walkable from Chinatown. They have a website and ship anywhere (not cheap though) I wish there was one near my home

I was just in NYC this weekend ( thought of you celiac3270) and ate at Candle 79. Oh my god! Gluten free menu, delicious and reasonable. I had watermelon cucumber soup, a black bean corn cake entree and lavender blueberry ice cream for dessert (all gluten-free). They also have Bard's Tale gluten-free Ale. It's vegetarian/vegan/live food with a gluten-free menu and it rocked! &9th and Lexington I think. Wow! Heaven!

Risotteria is soooo good!

jmccorkell - I'm from Gettysburg and go to school in Philly so I guess I'm qualified to respond! Sorry to say that I haven't found many places in G-burg that are gluten-free - except Mr. G's ice cream (the owner himself is Celiac!). In Philly, you must visit Mr. Ritts bakery! They love to hand out samples. I'll try to think of more places, let me know if you know exactly where you're staying and your route...

Some places I’ve eaten well lately:

Café Asean, on 10th St. between 6th Ave and Greenwich. Southeast Asian food, very reasonably price, great back garden.

Burrito Loco on West 4th just off 6th Ave. has tasty fresh Mexican and will make your guacamole right in front of you. They were also very accommodating about my food allergies and the server could rattle off lists of ingredients by memory.

Bereket on Houston St. does excellent Turkish kebabs and rice, and is 24 hours.

Chipotle, as chains go, is fantastic—lots of gluten-free food, and when I wrote them they wrote me back and gave me real answers to my questions!
