Vegan and gluten free restaurants in Manhattan

Manhattan, New York, has 96 kitchens cooking vegan and catering for gluten free diets, and 14 of them are fully vegan.

Start with Avant Garden on Avenue A and Caravan of Dreams on East 6th Street, two of the 14 fully vegan kitchens here. Délice & Sarrasin on West Houston Street has Lavender Infused Rice Pudding on the menu.

Starbucks has five branches here, listed together at the end.

A few dishes to look for: Avocado Bibimbap or Stone Bowl Rice at Franchia, Mediterranean Pasta at Le Botaniste and Sweet and Sour Vegetables (Pad Priew Wan) at May Kaidee.

Catering for gluten free is not the same as a dedicated kitchen. If it is coeliac disease or an allergy, ring ahead and ask how they handle it.
