Remember that thread?? I know Coulter was on it recommending places! Thanks--will be going out to NYC in May and want to get planning! (Or if you want to rec a new place and don't where the thread is that's ok too : )

I dont know where the thread is but i can tell you you MUST go to Risotteria (risotterianyc.com) while u are here if you havent been there. If u are here on a tuesday, they have gluten-free pasta on tuesdays. Where are you staying? I have been to Sambuca (upper west side) www.sambucanyc.com and i liked it but it has gotten mixed reviews from others. Everyone seems to like Lumi (east side) as well. I dont know if you will be in town long enough to buy food but if u need to pick up anything there are several whole foods, a brand new trader joes in union square, and my personal favorite is Westerly, which is at 54th/8th. For more ideas check out glutenfreerestaurants.org and ask away if you have questions about a particular restaurant!

Yeah, Risotteria is definitely on the list!! Is the gluten-free pizza always available or only on certain days? Thanks for the tips! Not sure where we are staying yet...

Hi Jen--try this link:

Thanks Patti! You rock my world

Jen-- the gluten-free pizza is ALWAYS available, as well as yummy risotto and paninis. And be sure to try the carrot cake, it is EXCELLENT! and the fudgie (two chocolate chip cookies w/ frosting in between). And while we're on the subject of desserts (my fav subject) try babycakes as well- its a bakery in the lower east side that was just rated by New York mag the best cupcakes in NYC (and NOT just gluten free cupcakes!) they are gluten-free and dairy free, www.babycakesnyc.com. Gotta love NY, so many options!

I hope these help some.

Thankyou for this very helpful thread I was JUST about to post a similar topic when I saw this.
Im planning to make my first international trip from Australia as a coeliac to NEW YORK! And altho im excited im very apprehensive!

Looks like Rissotteria is the PLACE to be

Ok so ofcourse you know Rissotteria is a must!

You also have to go to Lumi (I'll be there April 1st for a birthday dinner).

Those are my 2 favorites in the city.

I've heard Peter's is good but haven't tried it yet myself. Same thing with Babycakes. (And as someone said NY Mag just voted them best cupcakes in NYC).

Oh and just so you know, if it is warm when you are here (and hopefully it will be because I'm tired of wearing a winter coat), I've confirmed that the ice cream (obv minus the cone), from the Mister Softee ice cream trucks all over the city is G/F. So if you are walking around and just dying to know if you can get delicious ice cream in a cup... you can! (Don't know about the toppings).

Last summer I went to NYC. YES Risoterria is a must! They had a delicious raspberry layer cake when I was there. I almost cried, because I am a true cake-lover. As a tourist, I wanted to hit some of the well-known restaurants, and I found helpful waiters and chefs at Sardi's and Tavern on the Green. I also found health food stores that had amazing selections compared to what I was used to. Also, the Whole Foods at Washington Square had a really nice selection of fresh baked goods that we don't have in California yet. I can't wait to go back to NYC.

Thanks friends! Going to put a big ol' list together before the trip. Can't wait to ck out babycakes too--all about the gluten-free/cf

Jen--Have a great time in NYC! We love going there! The weather here is finally warming up--are you going this weekend?

Not till May I think. I'm a big plan-aheader
