If an elephant looked at most restaurant menus in NYC, it would 1) probably think our portions are rather small and 2) assume that we survive largely on pasta and bread. And then it would ask for a side of tree bark (fun fact: elephants love tree bark). The fact is, gluten-filled foods are everywhere. But not everyone can eat them. If you’re actively trying to avoid them, this guide has a bunch of great options. Most of the places on here aren’t completely gluten-free - so be sure to check with your server about specific dishes and cross-contamination concerns - but they’re all spots where you can get an excellent meal that won’t just be a bowl of rice and an apple.
