The West Village is the neighborhood people describe as "the most European part of Manhattan" while paying three thousand dollars a month for a studio the size of a baguette. The cobblestones are gorgeous and the menus lean heavily on bread, pasta and the kind of French cooking where gluten is basically the whole point. This list is the places here that actually handle gluten-free well. A good place to start is Jajaja Mexicana, which does gluten-free fried food and desserts, or Breakfast by Salt's Cure for a gluten-free breakfast. For more, our guides to pizza, brunch and fine dining cover the rest of the neighborhood, and SoHo has its own list next door.
