Eataly - an Italian Marketplace in New York City

This weekend, my mom and I were in New York City. During our free time, we decided to venture off into different stores as well as many of the vast food hubs that are technically called markets (since we are major foodies, we had to check them out). We spent a lot of time in Chelsea Market, which consists of many tiny restaurants and stores, but the marketplace that  stood out the most to my mom and I is called Eataly. Created by Mario Batali and two other renowned chefs, Eataly is the equivalent to a market and many restaurants that you would see along the coast of Italy. Eataly carries all types of Italian goods, from cheese and meats to individually wrapped nougat candies. On top of all of the goods you could buy, Eataly also has an array of mini-restaurants within the market. Some of the restaurants include 'La Piazza', 'La Pasta', 'Il Pesce', 'Gelateria', and so many more. What really intrigues me about this market is the vast amount of choices offered to a customer. I spent about 30 minutes walking around the place in awe of how incredibly large the marketplace is, while carefully looking at each item available for purchase. Eataly really made me think about the fact that we have nothing like this in Los Angeles. The amount of choices available in the incredible Italian food hub was pretty incredible. I truly recommend Eataly to any foodie who will be visiting New York City in the future, it is an Italian food lover's dream!
