NYC GF-Friendly Eatery List

Sad to say, a number of GF-friendly places closed this summer, including some of my personal favorites like Rice on Elizabeth and Peter's Diner. I know times are still tough for many, but if you can afford it, please support your favorite GF spots; let's help keep them open! (And if you can't afford it, tell your friends who can!)

Below is the most recent NYC GF-Friendly Eatery List, arranged by neighborhood and borough. Listings are for places I have heard of, from businesses or diners; the venues with asterisks are places where I've personally eaten safely. (If you'd care to make similar notes and share, please do so in comments below!)

Please note: This is NOT a guaranteed safe list! Exercise your usual GF caution before dining, i.e. call ahead, ask about their processes, etc.** This list is a work in progress. (I'll be updating it with new venues and hyperlinks along the way.) I hope it helps get you out in the world more often, enjoying safe social eating with the people in your life. So without further ado:


Financial District: 
Dig Inn (multiple locations)

LES: 
L'Asso: Offering GF pizza and pasta.

GF Resources: Top Picks

I've recently had a number of requests for recommendations on the best places for GF info. I tend to focus on local resources; here are my top picks:

Dining recommendations:

Blogs:
Allergic Girl Recommends
I keep a list, too

Meetups. There are currently three gluten-free Meetup groups within NYC proper: 
The Brooklyn Gluten-Free Meetup

Gluten Free NYC 

The New York City Celiac Disease Meetup

I've found Meetup to be my best resource for local dining info. The event info clues me in to new-to-me dining options, but I've found the message boards to be an even more valuable source of info. You can subscribe to the boards so that any new threads are delivered directly to your inbox.

Twitter: 
I highly recommend creating an account, especially if you're new to being GF and/or in a new town. There's a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it's a snap. To get started, follow some GF businesses/people you like and then look to see who they're following. This can help lead you to the people and businesses who have information that is pertinent to your GF life.

Apps: 
The new Dish Freely gluten-free restaurant app (Have you tried it? Do tell. It's currently only avail for iPhone and I'm an Android girl.)

General GF info, i.e. lifestyle, news, etc.: 

Twitter and the Meetups; have to suggest them again. They both provide access to a broad range of GF lifestyle topics, not just dining. 

Magazines: 
Delight Gluten-Free
Easy Eats (online magazine)
Gluten-Free Living
Living Without
 
I have read all four on occasion over the years. I currently only subscribe to Easy Eats, as I enjoy the format and find their content most pertinent to my life. I recommend following them on Twitter and Facebook as well, as they post notes about new content all the time.

Books:
A number of people have asked me for GF cooking/lifestyle book recommendations, but I just don't rely on those these days. I used Danna Korn's “Wheat-Free, Worry-Free: The Art of Happy, Healthy, Gluten-Free Living" and Jax Lowell's "Against the Grain: The Slightly Eccentric Guide to Living Well Without Gluten or Wheat" when I was first diagnosed a decade ago. I know there are many more titles now. Any you can recommend for the GF newbie?

**Personally, I would not be able to eat at a number of the venues above, because I am so very sensitive to even small amounts of gluten. I am listing them anyway because I know there are people who are much less sensitive and would likely choose to dine at many of these eateries.

NYC GF-Friendly Eatery List

Below is the most recent NYC GF-Friendly Eatery List, arranged by neighborhood, borough, and state (there are some NJ businesses included). Listings are for places I have heard of - from businesses or diners - or eaten at myself. The venues with asterisks are places where I've personally eaten safely. (If you'd care to make similar notes and share, please do so in comments below!)

Please note: This is NOT a guaranteed safe list! Exercise your usual GF caution before dining, i.e. call ahead, ask about their processes, etc.**

This list is a work in progress. (I'll be updating it with new venues and hyperlinks along the way.) I hope it helps get you out in the world more often, enjoying safe social eating with the people in your life. So without further ado:
