Your experience with the cream sauce sounds exactly like mine. Funny. And I know I should be more demanding, but it's the good little Midwestern/Swiss girl in me that's too polite. Thanks for the recommendations about Italian - I love it, but have always been a little skeptical with all the cream and oil. I'll have to try channeling the picky New Yorker in me...
For my two cents, I love Monsoon on the corner of 81st and Amsterdam. It's a Vietnamese restaurant. Franchia - Park/34th is also good (vegan - yummy yummy desserts, and try the pumpkin noodles). So is Galanga, W4th and 6th - great cheap Thai in a really intimate setting.
I'm on the very upper west side - near 214th and Broadway, within sight of the Bronx. It's a great neighborhood, with lots of parks and families and all that good stuff, but only 2 restaurants worth mentioning. If you have any ideas up this far, I'm all ears. 
I've been in the city about 6 months now, and I have to admit I'm still adjusting. Before this I lived in Chicago, which is pretty relaxed though still a big city, and in high school I lived in Switzerland - very chill. Though - NYC is great for us IBSers, given the wide variety of dining and shopping possibilities. Have you had the lowfat cookies sold everywhere? They're not quite "the real thing" but not too bad ( check this page ).
