Go to SLICE on the Upper East Side for Pizza. They have soy cheese and rice cheese, and the pizza is delicious.
Slice
Go to Pick a Bagel for a bagel and soy cream cheese. They are all over the city, and they are very good. Pick a Bagel
Go to Franchia on 35th and Park for amazing soy cheesecake. Their entire vegan Korean menu is amazing, but the soy cheesecake really is to die for. Franchia
I eat the pretzels all the time with no problem. They are basically all SF -- it's just bread, really.
As for the hot dogs ... I can't really help you except to say that they aren't that great, and even if you didn't have IBS you wouldn't want to eat the hot dog that the scary man fishes out of the vat of water that was changed ... when? Not worth it, IMO.
Do you like Mexican? Burrito Box on 57th and 9th has soy cheese and tofu sour cream. You still need to go easy because who knows what the fat content is, but it is non-dairy all the way. Burrito Box Lunch Box, across the street, has great sandwiches with avocado and sprouts, etc. Same website.
NY is a great place to live and visit, even if you have special dietary needs. There is everything here -- you just need to know where to look.
Also try Westerly Natural Market on 9th ave and 54th street for all of your IBS-safe staples. For a long time, they had "oat cream" non-dairy ice cream. I haven't been over there in a while but I think they still have it. Westerly
Of course, we have Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and a million other little grocers that carry organic and specialty foods. You'll be just fine!
