In a nutshell
Third NYC opening of the food group, with a landmark building comprising restaurants, marketplace, cafe, local delivery and private dining.
In their words
"Eataly embodies in its DNA the authentic Italian culinary culture and lifestyle and our goal is to continue building our love story with the North America community, especially with this opening in a magical city that has welcomed us from the beginning." (Tommaso Bruso, CEO of North America.
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.
