Eataly Flatiron

Eataly (200 5th Avenue, Flatiron) is part food hall, part Italian grocery, part restaurant, and all overwhelming in the best way. It’s massive. You could spend an hour just wandering through the different sections.

The pasta counter is the move. You sit at a counter and eat freshly made pasta for $16-22, and it’s as good as most Italian restaurants in the city. The pizza counter is also excellent. The gelato is the real thing.

Fair warning. Eataly is not cheap. The grocery section will tempt you into spending $40 on olive oil and fancy crackers. I speak from experience. Multiple experiences.

200 Fifth Avenue, at 23rd Street. I know, 15 minutes is a real walk. But if you have the time, Eataly is a massive Italian food hall with multiple restaurants, a wine bar, fresh pasta counters, and a rooftop restaurant. You can grab a $6 slice of Roman-style pizza or sit down for a full pasta dinner ($18 to $28 per plate).

It’s a bit of a trek from Times Square, but it’s near other great food options and the walk down Broadway is pleasant. Consider it if you have time before or after your show.

One of the best things to do in New York City in January (especially for foodies) is to take a class at Eataly. This popular Italian marketplace is part-grocery store and part-restaurant venue, and hosts some of the best culinary classes in NYC.

This year’s class is called Bubbles & Cheese. Learn about pairing Italian cheeses with sparkling Italian wines from a professional cheese monger and Eataly’s beverage director. You’ll be guided through Italian regions, producers, production methods and the various aging processes.

Eataly is a must-visit spot in the Flatiron District for foodies. This Italian marketplace has a variety of high-quality products and authentic cuisine, including fresh produce, artisanal cheeses, handmade pasta, and premium meats.

Home to 25 food counters and restaurants, enjoying a light bite with a glass of wine at Eataly is one of the most relaxing things to do in the Flatiron District. I highly recommend getting a seat at Eataly Vino for some chilled rosé.

If you’re feeling peckish, take the elevator up to Serra By Birreria, the shop’s rooftop restaurant. Known for over-the-top decor, tasty pasta dishes and refreshing cocktails, it stands out as a top activity in the Flatiron District.
