Murray Hill has been "up and coming" for so long that the phrase has lost all meaning, which tracks for a neighborhood where the bars are packed on a Tuesday and the restaurants are optimized for people who are too busy to read a menu. A lot of those menus are also optimized for bread, and the kitchens behind them are not always sure what's in the sauce. This list is the places here that actually handle gluten-free well. A good place to start is TAP Brazilian Café, where the whole kitchen is gluten-free, or grab gluten-free desserts at Kati Shop. For more, see our picks for pizza and breakfast and brunch, and the Midtown East guide is right next door.
