Hi I am going to be in New York City for a week and am wondering where
the best health food stores are.  I am planning on bringing some
Pamela's chocolate chip cookies, rice crackers etc. from home but I
would love some advice on gluten-free accomodating grocers.

I also am interested in Southern Indian restaurants in NYC.  What are the
names of some safe gluten free dishes?

any NYC pointers would be appreciated --
thank you
Erica
