NYC Recap ~ Including Eataly!

I love almost everything about NYC.  I go any chance I can get....which isn't often enough but twice within one year is good with me.  This NYC trip was a short one, thanks in part to flight delays and airplane break downs....but that's a whole other Southwest Air story.  Flying over the Rockies during winter time was pretty cool, I must say.


















I basically had one full day to spend in NYC before flying back to CA.  I tried to pack in as much as I possibly could.

Mario Batali's Eataly is one stop I'm glad I had the chance to visit.  Sharon, at The Daily Meal suggested I check out this Italian mecca.....a must see if you love all things food.



Upon first setting foot inside, I thought what in the world is this place?!!  The crowds were massive, the volume-loud, counters everywhere with just about anything Italian and lots of Italian being spoken.
























Eataly is a massive space with countless food counters, delis, restaurants, grocery outlets, fresh produce, a butcher counter, fish counter, you can buy freshly made pasta, they have olive oils galore and cheese counter that would put a smile on any dairyman's face.  

I was in total heaven here.

















I had just eaten lunch when I visited Eataly but wished I was still hungry.  It was just after 2 p.m. and the place was completely packed.















I found out later that they even have a rooftop restaurant and brewery!  Next time for SURE.
















I was really tempted to buy, buy, buy but didn't because I didn't think I could safely cart the goods home on the plane.




As I made my way to the back, through volumes of people, I found this delectable counter....still too full to eat anything, a photo is all I could do.




















I will be back.





To end my day, after a tiny bit of shopping for the kids, I headed back to my hotel....The Sanctuary Hotel.  I was headed back to the bar area to have a drink before meeting friends for dinner when the sweet hostess stopped me and asked if I wanted to go up to the rooftop bar, Haven for Happy Hour.

PERFECT.




I could've stayed here the rest of the evening.  Cheers!





Until next time, NYC.

I'm going to miss being so close to New York. It seems that when I'm there I mostly eat and walk. My favorite place is La Bella Ferrara. Their cream filled lobster tails are the bomb!
