I ate at Serendipity while there about a month ago. I had a huge salad with chicken and finished with the very best hot fudge sundae I've ever had in my life. It's worth finding it. Plus the movie of the same name was filmed there. Any teenager would like that. Betty/TX Brooklyn Diner (pricey but very good) on 57th St just west of 7th Ave. Great burgers, mashed potato, and steamed vegetables. Hot fudge sundae is the best. I just sent this list to someone else on this group that had the same question: I live in NYC. Lately I've compiled a list of places I can eat. Some of these places I've gotten off this list and never eaten at. The places with the (* ) were the one's I've tried. You still have to cross examine the waiters but what else is new.

We also go to a place called Coffee Shop on Union Sq. W. & 16th St. They have Brazilian Cheese Bread, which is made with tapioca flour. It's the same as the Chebe Bread. My son has it all the time with no reaction. I think NYC is a pretty easy place to have celiac. Susan NYC provided me with such helpful info.
