Grazie to our friend Jessica Young, talented NYC private chef for beating us to the newly launched Eataly, at 200 Fifth Ave, in Manhattan. You can catch her tour on her blog Vittle Me This.
A co-production of the Italian Eataly stores, affiliated with Slow Food, and the Mario Batali organization, the emporium houses a grocery with artisanal ingredients, fresh and cured meats, and fresh foods as well as several restaurants.
Jessica, we loved your description of Romanesco as cauliflower that had sex with a Christmas tree!
Ci vediamo all’ Eataly!
I can’t wait for my next NY visit so I can check this out.
When Eataly first opened, I wondered how long this 45,000 square foot mega store could be sustained? Well, it is a great hit and great fun to walk through and eat in. Only time will tell.
I agree Michele, it will be interesting to see how Eataly evolves in NYC.
Thank you for posting this about my post! I am glad you liked it.
Let’s go to Eataly!!!!
