Foraging by food restriction may not be the best option for eating out in New York, but if you’re a vegetarian, keep kosher, or are allergic to gluten, let’s face it: you have a thinner than average range of dining options. But a smaller universe of choices doesn’t necessarily mean lesser quality. We discovered one restaurant, Risotteria, a rice and pizza joint on Bleeker Street, that serves two menus (one gluten-restricted, one unrestricted), while still managing to maintain respectable standards. Gluten, a starch protein found in wheat, takes the rap in causing symptoms of the common-but-controversial celiac disease. Whether or not you take gluten allergy seriously (we’re Swiss on the subject, by the way), Risotteria does, serving up pizza made from rice flour, over 35 varieties of its namesake risotto, and even gluten-free beer and pasta on their much-touted ‘gluten-free Tuesdays.’

This is Lisa's last weekend as a Chelsea resident. When I moved to New York, I moved to Chelsea 10% because it's a great area and 90% because Lisa lived here. Now she's moving to Hell's Kitchen, leaving me alone with Ethan Hawke (the only other Chelsea resident I see on a regular basis.) Whatever will I do?
