We got a tour of the new Eataly in New York's Financial District - and it's obvious why it has so many dedicated fans
Open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., this location is the first in New York to offer sit-down and grab-and-go breakfast options as well as menus for lunch and dinner.
Upon entering the store, you'll find a large table stacked high with baguettes. Bread is the theme for this location, and the brand says it represents community and connectivity around the world.
A wine and coffee bar is also conveniently located for those who want to sip while shopping.
There's a hefty supply of fresh fruits and vegetables for grocery shoppers.
There are also more than 10,000 products on sale, from cheese to salami.
Various imported Italian products, including soft drinks and tomato sauces, line the walls.
There are also over 100 varieties of extra virgin olive oil from producers that exclusively harvest in Italy.
If you're not sure what to purchase, the marketmongers can help you decide.
Fresh seafood and cut meats are available.
Intricate pasta shapes are made on the premises.
For dessert, stop for a pasticcini, or bite-sized Italian pastry.
Learn how to put all those fresh ingredients to use at the "Foodiversita`" — a space for free classes and food demos that occur three times daily.
There are more than seven different dining areas if you'd rather sit for a meal than shop.
Orto E Mare offers both classic American breakfast staples, such as granola and yogurt, and Italian dishes like prosciutto served with poached eggs.
For lunch, get oysters at the seafood bar.
Or pick up a quick slice of wood-fired oven-cooked Italian flatbread.
Sit and order freshly baked Neapolitan pizza from Rossopomodoro.
Get a made-to-order salad at Eataly's first-ever salad bar.
Osteria della Pace is a brand new edition to Eataly that serves only dinner. Dishes are inspired by southern Italian cuisine.
Dishes such as pan-seared swordfish, suckling pig, and grilled lamb chops grace the menu.
Cheese and wine are served at a round bar that sits in the center of the main dining area.
Eataly partner and well-known chef Lidia Bastianich was a special guest at the location's opening.
Wine was given out to guests who lined up to enter on the opening day.
By the time we were heading out, we saw that the line to get in stretched outside the building, through the main hallway, and along two escalators.
