Eataly

in nyc i made a point to go to eataly. it's a giant italian market that's about the size of a block. it's a bit overwhelming at first and you kind of have to walk through the whole thing to get your bearings. but you can find everything there from fresh produce to boxes upon boxes of pasta!

there are also several restaurants scattered throughout. we ate at la pizza and la pasta which is actually two restaurants in one. it was AMAZING! we had the freshest, most delicious pastas.

they also have a mozzarella bar. yum. so if you're in manhattan, i definitely recommend stopping by here for lunch. or maybe a gelato! one tip, get there early! we went on a saturday and got there at 11:30 for lunch and it was almost filled up already (at least at la pizza/la pasta).
