Visit Field notes
This is Eataly's opportunity to blend scale and intimacy, perhaps in a more coherent fashion that the labyrinthine Flatiron store, or the characterless, bland Westfield WTF offering. The store uses the familiar Eataly approach of a corner site with multiple entrances, however it lacks the buzz and authentic feel of the Flatiron original. The vibe is more like a franchise of an Eataly, rather than the essence of the brand. However, in its location it's a positive offering with a restaurant, cafe, fresh foods and a temping basement of provisions.
