NYC
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of spending the day with my dearest and oldest friend in NYC. As any amazing friend would, she understands my love and passion for good food. Growing up in Northern New Jersey, we've been thoroughly exposed to American Italian food, and with each of us spending time in Italy (sadly not together,) we know the real deal too.
Chen recommended this amazing market and restaurant, Eataly!
After a little stroll through Madison Square Park, we crossed over 5th Avenue to this amazing place.
They even provide a floor-plan! (which clearly makes me love the place even more!)
We entered from 5th Ave - passing the coffee bar, the gelato, the nutella bar, and all the other scrumptious treats that make me think that I've died and gone to heaven. I got a brief tour of the layout from my favorite New Yorker, taking pictures along the way.
(yes, that says "Live Sea Urchin")
After seeing the display of freshly made pasta, and actually witnessing the staff making fresh ravioli before my eyes, I knew what I had to have for lunch....
The Butternut Squash Ravioli in a butter sage sauce melted in my mouth...it was a taste of heaven. The dish, I believe, came with 17 ravioli, and Chen and I decided to split it. She was still hungry, and opted to add a Margarita Pizza to her lunch (which I happily tried as well!)
Such an amazing dining experience - I highly recommend checking this place out ASAP. We went on a Thursday around 11am, and there was no wait :)
Thank you Chen for an amazing day!
