If it's a dessert you could use a touch of cinnamon if the recipe doesn't call for it already. If it's a savory dish, it would be hard to gut that same nutty flavor from something else so just omit it altogether. It gives a pretty unique taste so unless you despise it, definately try it!

Probably ground cinnamon would be the closest substitute, in most instances. However nutmeg is sometimes used in the classic Bechemel / white sauce for savory dishes, and I'm not convinced cinnamon would be a good alternative for this purpose; the flavor is too sweet.

Allspice or cinnamon might work ok, but nutmeg has it's own unique flavor.
