NYC Restaurants

Eataly is Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich's tribute to Italian food, a mega-market and eatery on 23rd Street and Fifth in the heart of the Flatiron District. The space is huge with stations for homemade pizza, seafood, antipasti, baked goods, gelato and a wonderful espresso bar. There's also a full line of pastas, cheeses, meats, fish and fresh vegetables at reasonable prices. Take out or eat in with a glass of Italian wine. The space also includes a restaurant and rooftop beer garden.
