Thanks so much for all the suggestions. I truly appreciate it. It sounds like there are several gf-friendly chain restaurants in the area and some non-chain restaurants as well, mostly near Albany. I will post a review of the restaurants we try out after the trip. Here are the recommendations:
Albany
1. Several recommendations for the Outback in Albany.
2. Several recommendations for http://www.glutenfreerestaurants.org/
3. Several recommendations for food to pack just in case
4. Real Seafood Co. on Wolf Road (near airport)
5. Olive Garden on Wolf Road near Colonie Center Mall (exit 2 off of I 87)
6. Kirker's in Latham(?) just north of Albany off of route 87, I think, exit 7. They actually have a separate gluten-free menu because of a local support group. The food is excellent.
7. Carrabba's Italian Grill off I-87 in Latham, just north of Albany
8. www.highlandsrestaurant.com-near Albany We had a retirement dinner there yesterday and it was great (see separate posting about this restaurant for more details).
Near West Point
9. In the West Point area, you might want to visit Amarone's Italian Cuisine, located at 62 Wood Road, Sugar Loaf NY 10981, 845-469-4405. They buy products from a dedicated gluten-free bakery in nearby Chester, stock gluten-free pasta and take care to avoid cross-contamination in the kitchen. I also visited them on Memorial Day weekend, and they were willing to adapt almost anything on the menu for me.
10. There is a Restaurant, Restaurant X, in Congers, NY a little south of
West Point that will do gluten free meals. 845-268-6555 www.xaviars.com
