Friedman's - Chelsea

Friedman's in Chelsea is a staple of the New York City dining scene, located within the iconic Chelsea Market. Founded by the Phillips family after a personal diagnosis of celiac disease, the restaurant was built on the mission of providing high-quality, inclusive American comfort food. The atmosphere is casual and bustling, reflecting its popular location, and it serves as a go-to spot for both locals and tourists looking for reliable, allergy-conscious meals in a vibrant setting.

The menu is famously extensive, with the vast majority of items available in gluten-free versions. Guests can enjoy a wide variety of classic dishes, including pancakes, waffles, fried chicken, and various sandwiches, all crafted to mimic their traditional counterparts. In addition to their food offerings, they feature a robust coffee program and a selection of beverages. While they are highly regarded for their commitment to gluten-free dining, guests with celiac disease are encouraged to communicate their needs clearly to the staff, as the kitchen handles both gluten-containing and gluten-free ingredients.
