To all those who responded to my email - many thanks.  Below are some of the
places recommended to me.

Recommendations for New York:

New Delhi Indian Restaurant--Just let the owner and waiter know you're on a
gluten-free diet.  They'll insist that just about everything but the bread
is gluten-free at this budget-priced Indian restaurant.  120 Lexinton Avenue
(near 28th Street), 212-725-3215.

Rocking Horse Cafe Mexicano--Call in advance during the slow afternoon
hours and speak to the chef, who has been very agreeable about fixing
delicious gf dishes.  Can get noisy and crowded.  182 Eighth Avenue between
19th and 20th Streets, 212-43-9511.

Herban Kitchen--An organic restaurant where the staff is familiar with the
requirements of a gluten-free diet.  There is usually at least one entree
that's gluten-free.  Still, be careful--they have been known to slip up, so
don't be afraid to ask about anything that looks suspect.  Entrees cost
about $15-20.  290 Hudson Street (between Dominick and Spring Streets),
212-627-5527

Josie's--Another health-oriented restaurant where gluten-free dishes can be
found and the staff tends to be knowledgeable.  Entrees cost about $10-25.
Can get noisy and crowded.  300 Amsterdam Avenue at 74th Street,
212-769-1212.

East Village Thai Restaurant--This is a hole-in-the-wall with only 3
tables, an operation that's oriented to takeout and delivery.  You can get
a safe, gf, Thai curry by ordering off the menu and requesting "Mary's Fish
Sauce."  If no one at the restaurant understands what you mean, then don't
order.   32 E. 7th St. (between 2nd & 3rd Avenues), 212-673-4610.

"NY restaurants are used to special diet needs. Nothing phases
them.  Chinese rest. are going to be a problem because they use wheat soy
sauce.  Either bring your own tamari [which you can easily get in NYC] or
order dishes w/o soy...a white sauce base."

Within the Times square area, Eileen's Stardust Diner, on 52nd  and 7th
Ave.   A real fun place, wouild be Broadway performers are the waiters and
they eat perform during the meals.  Order burger of Philly Steak sandwiches
w/o bread.  A philly steak is sliced grilled beef topped with melted cheese
[order swiss because that usually is safe] along with onions and sometimes
mushrooms.  It comes with french fries.   In the same area are the NY
landmarks, the Carnegie Deli and Stage Deli

On 46th St off fifith ave is little Brazil.  Ipanema

Platforma on 57th St. It is a Brazilain BBQ.  Flat rate and eat all you can.
