Hello everyone. I know people often travel to NYC for vacations and I have found 2 restaurants with gluten-free menus/options.

Risotteria
270 Bleecker St,  New York 10014
Phone: 212-924-6664
they indicate lots of gluten-free options on their menu. also have gluten-free desserts!

Red Bamboo
140 W 4th St,  New York 10012
Phone: 212-260-7049
yummy vegetarian place with a few gluten-free options

Another restaurant that doesn't have it specified on the menu but is very Celiac friendly is Josie's. There is one on the East side and one on the West sided. They are more than happy to accomodate requests and will look into ingredients willingly. On my last visit, my waitress quickly stopped me before I dug into my mashed potatos b/c she found out the soy milk they used that day contained barley. Very good food too!

Enjoy!

I've noticed New York seems to be very gluten friendly, wish I lived there! Anyhow, there was a post on here somewhere else that said to visit www.glutenfreerestaurants.org. I went there and the majority of the restaurants were in New York. smile.gif

Sounds good in NYC. How about when traveling to Europe. We are going to see our daughter in France and then traveling to Ireland. Any hints on how to travel with Celiac's. What a nuisance.

Thanks to everyone for posting on this thread! I took a day trip to New York yesterday for my friend's new baby's naming ceremony, and *I* got to pick the restaurant that we would eat at afterward, so I chose Gus's Place. The food was good, and it was so nice not to have to worry about cross-contamination! (We even managed to park right outside the restaurant! Can you believe that? It was just our lucky day!)

Check out the Celiac Chicks Website, they list places in NYC as well as other places in the US that are gluten-free.

There is a bakery in Brooklyn that has a lot of gluten-free stuff to eat as well...

Yep...I live in NY also. I've heard of numerous restaurants that zippy10 mentioned, but I rarely ate out before being diagnosed, and therefore, don't eat out now, either. For travelling to NYC or anywhere else, there is a website: http://glutenfreerestaurants.org/. I hope this proves helpful for you wherever you go. It won't work for small towns, obviously, but for big cities, this site will provide a few options. Hope this helps.

Hi, back again with a quick "edit" to my post. At Silly-Yak.com, there is a long list of NYC restaurants that accommodate to Celiacs:

I was diagnosed 6 years ago and am always looking for restaurants, fast food and others in my area that have gluten-free menu. I've read about Outback, however there isn't one closer than 45 minutes away and it's usally a hour plus wait to get in. sad.gif
Does anyone know of any places in Westchester County, New York blink.gif I live in Yorktown, so the Northern part of the county is best. rolleyes.gif
Thanks,

There is a restaurant in Manhattan called "Jean-Georges." It is at the Trump Hotel at One Central Park West. It is a very expensive restaurant but they are very accomodating to people with Celiac Disease. When I went to eat their, I told the waiter that I was allergic to dairy and gluten and he asked if I had Celiac Disease and I said yes and then he called over the maitre'de who took my order and the chef prepared all of these delicious entrees with sauces and everything was gluten free. However, for dessert the only gluten free items are fruit and sorbet.

(Westchester info):
There are 5 places listed on http://www.glutenfreerestaurants.org/index.php for the county. So far I've been to Gedney and Ciao and they have wonderful food. Also, I've been fortunate with helpfull waiters at Mighty Joe Youngs in Hartsdale. These three are all mid-southern Westchester near White Plains. There are others that I have not tried including some in Dutchess and Orange counties which may be closer to you.
