Eataly

I braved the rain and the crowds to get a glimpse of the new and very large Italian food emporium Eataly at 200 Fifth Avenue - I say in the video Broadway and 24th, but it's actually Fifth between 23rd and 24th.

Also someone had told me that a more formal restaurant was yet to come, but for the life of me I can't imagine where they would put it!

Lastly I make a comment about how it's almost like San Francisco which is just a silly reference to a conversation I had with an architect friend who was saying how much nicer things were in SF and how, finally, with Eataly New York can stand proud in the food world with a first class food center celebrating all things Italian. Not to mention just good food in general as the produce/meat/bread/fish selection is damn impressive.

It reminds me of the top floor of the Kadewe in Berlin.
