I just took my 3 yr old last month. We went to Amer. Girl, too. Make sure they are careful with your food. They were fine with us, but I've heard stories.... We went to Risoterria in the Village. A gluten free pizza place. They have other gluten free stuff, too. Very casual and very friendly. Pizza was good. There are a number of other places, too, but we did not go them. I'm sure you'll get responses, I just can't remember the names. Someone today also told me about Zen Palate, but maybe your daughter won't be into it? It's supposed to be yummy Asian and a lot of it is GF.

There is a comprehensive listing of GF establishments in NYC on the GF in NY page on my site:
www.silly-yak.com.
Closest to the Grand Central/American Girl area is TROPICA in the MetLife Building @ 200 Park Ave. at E. 45th St.
Reservations: 212 867 6767. Pricey, but great food and part of the Gluten-Free Restaurant Awareness Program -so you know you are safe.
Also part of the program is Bloom's Delicatessen Cafe. 350 Lexington Avenue (corner of 40th Street) NYC. 212-922-FOOD. Not far at all!
Not much in the Times Square/Grand Central area, but on 9th Ave in the 40s and 50s there are a bunch of international places to eat including Indian, Thai and Brazilian places that are naturally GF.
I recommend a small, cozy place called Rice and Beans which has GF manioc/cheese bread (delicious) and many dishes that have no flour. 744 9TH Ave at 50th st. (212) 265-4444
There is Dallas BBQ on 42nd st btwn 7-8th ave right on Times Square. This great, cheap, busy, loud, fun place has roasted chicken (get it with NO SAUCE and ask for NO CORN BREAD ON THE PLATE), coleslaw, and burgers (GET NO BUN). Plus the margaritas are terrific!
For pizza and GF risotto and GF beer and bread, you MUST go to Risoterria (again, see the GF in NY page). It is downtown on Bleecker St and you can get there easily from via the shuttle to Times Square, then transfer to the 1 train to Christopher St (and then only 2 blocks south of that stop to Bleecker). WELL WORTH THE TRIP!
The WHOLE FOODS in Columbus Circle has all the GF treats you need, plus a full salad bar. It would be a 45 minute walk to Grand Central.

It is a little bit of a walk from American Girl Place, but if your girls
aren't too young, it is a doable walk -- we recently ate at Bloom's
Delicatessen which is at 350 Lexington Avenue at the corner of 40th St. They
have a gluten free menu which offers hamburgers with no bun, omelettes, and
gluten free french fries. There are some other menu items, I just can't
recall them right now. My daughter had a pizza burger with sauce and cheese
on it and loved it. My son had a bunless bacon cheeseburger. They also bring
a bowl of pickles to your table. Not much in the way of gf desserts.
There is an Outback Steakhouse at 919 Third Ave at 56th St. Again, this is a
bit of a walk from AG
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We were there over Thanksgiving and LOVED Peter's Gourmet Diner
(100's 0f GF items) on the upper East side and then right through to
the other side of Central PArk on the West side we enjoyed Sambucca's
Italian Trattatoria for dinner which is across the street from the
Dakota.

Go to celiacchicks.com for good info. You should definitely go to the
Risotteria (multiple visits by my daughter on each NY trip) and to Puff and
Pao (which is closed on Monday, I think.)
