![]() ![]() I had travelled less at that time and didn’t do the research that I do now so I was still going to restaurants as if I wasn’t coeliac, just turning up and hoping for the best and New York is not the easiest city in which to do this, especially in 2012. Not that many places had gluten free menus at that time and if they did it didn’t mean they were clued up on cross contamination and eating out wasn’t as fun as it should have been. We stayed at the Crowne Plaza at Times Square and having done no research for gluten free I struggled finding safe places to eat. This was shortly after Hurricane Sandy had hit the city and we were unable to get off at the Statue of Liberty and lots of the subway stations were closed still. This trip was in a similar vain to that with my dad of trying to see as many sights as possible in three days.

Hotels in the US are expensive and rooms in NYC hotels are small, especially if you want to stay in Central Manhattan. The afternoon tea that came around later had a substitute of fruit salad and cherry raisins which wasn’t quite so well received! I’ve had the same meal in economy, the meals don’t seem to change much! I ordered my meal online in advance and the chicken and sweet potato meal was pretty good with sides of salad, a roll, apple crisps and raspberry jelly. We generally fly with Virgin Atlantic to the US and on our last trip to New York we used airmiles to upgrade to premium economy. New York is a fabulous city for gluten free restaurants and bakeries, once you know where to find them. I love NYC and a Christmas visit is my absolute favourite as it is such a magical time to go and see all the Christmas lights, and of course eat all the gluten free treats.

According to the World Health Organization, a small proportion of people infected with the virus could die from fulminant hepatitis.
