For those of you who don't live across the street from Eataly (as we do), it is a combination grocery store-restaurant, and yes, that's exactly as complicated as it sounds. Eataly is a grocery store with different little restaurant-lets inside where you can eat dessert, pizza, vegetables, meat, etc. That makes navigating it a bit of a challenge, but it's worth it to get the fresh pasta.
However! As fresh pasta does not make an excellent snack, today I recommend to you the bread. Eataly offers an entire bread counter, with at least ten different types of fresh bread every day — and different types for different days. My favorite so far? The black olive baguettes, best eaten with Eataly's green olive tapenade.
after seeing you yesterday, Gina, i walked past Eataly and gazed inside the windows. i thought about going inside to take a meander around, but i knew that if i entered those doors i wouldn’t be back out for at least an hour. so, with great regret, i soldiered on to Penn Station without stopping.
I hope that Eataly can also branch out in different countries so other people can taste the goodness of it!
