Shop Girl: Eataly NYC
A couple of weeks ago I was waiting at a traffic light in Manhattan and saw a massive line of people waiting to get into a store. I had never heard anything about it and merely saw a sign that said gelato. It was hot that day in the city, but not hot enough to warrant a line wrapping around the block. It was craziness.
The next day I’m online and I realize it was the opening day of Eataly a new indoor take on the Italian marketplace. One of the owners is none other than Mario Batali hence the crazy line.
I haven’t made it back to check it out for myself, but I’m totally intrigued.
I found some images of the store online and had to share them with all.
Imagine having a pantry like this at home:
Like a real street corner in Italy there is signage to show you the way:
I know want to empty out my fridge and fill it with baskets to house fresh veggies:
I love carbs so I will have to go check out this bread station in person:
After I’m done stuffing myself with bread I think I would balance the calories with a piece of fruit!
I love good store display and this place does not disappoint. I can totally see myself overpaying for a loaf of bread or some fancy cheese.
Yum! Have any NY readers checked it out yet?

*Apparently Martha and me were thinking the same thing today. Totally happens when you are so close to someone 😉 and her show today was about Eataly as well! Check out some video footage here. Thanks for the heads up Janna!

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Wow! That definitely looks like a store I would have trouble keeping my cart empty at. Displaying food like that makes me want to take it all home. Let us know what it's like when you go!
I just saw this place featured on Martha Stewart today. Pretty cool.
Read about this on Tory Burch's blog. Can't wait to go but I think the lines are still out the door. Thanks for a great post/photos!
I am seriously jealous! This is unbelievable. The closet thing we have to that is Fresh market, which I adore.
Have a nice day!

I was just watching Martha Stewart and she featured Eataly on her show… my mouth was watering during the whole segment… Must got to that place when I'm in NY.
