  • Hey guys, salut ! This is Alex.

  • So today I'm sharing - or should I say tonight - I am sharing a special moment of my New York City Flog.

  • It's the review of downtown Eataly.

  • So, Eataly is an italian market place. There are two places like this in New York I think : one in mid Manhattan and one in downtown (the one I went to)

  • But also, there are many in the world like for example Korea, Japan, Turkey, umhhhh .... Many in Eataly but NONE in France !

  • There might be a business opportunity there ... but I hardly see myself, The French Guy Cooking, launching Eataly in Paris. Nah ?

  • Anyway. Let's GO !

  • You just saw it, they have an amazing selection of cheeses and fruits and vegetables, but I was personnaly very impressed by their selection of pasta.

  • SO MANY PASTA !

  • Like, IT'S CRAZY !

  • And ... OLIVE OIL !

  • Of course, olive oil !

  • Olive oil !

  • Olive oil !

  • Olive oil !

  • Oh my GOSH ! I've never see that much olive oil !

  • So also you don't have to buy only from the shelves, you can also buy from the counters. There are several counters like pasta, panini and sandwiches or pastries.

  • So you can buy lots of food in Eataly, that's a fact :) But you can also eat lots of good food there.

  • There are many restaurants like for example the seafood restaurant, the vegetarian restaurant ...

  • There is a special dinning restaurant, there's a great pizzeria at Eataly.

  • Like really ! I'm a geek when it comes to pizza ... and I saw theirs and they are SUPER LEGIT !

  • So YES, at the end I couldn't resist the urge to just sit, relax and enjoy a glass of wine and a ball of fresh housemade mozarella !

  • I really like the atmosphere, the ambiance of sitting at the counter, watching the cooks do their stuff.

  • The wine was very good. Pricy. Bu still very good.

  • The mozarella was fresh, soft ..uhm, not very strong in terms of flavor, but very FRESH !

  • So, at the end of the day 3 questions.

  • FIRST : Sould you go there ?

  • I would say, ABSOLUTELY ! It's a one of a kind experience, it's beautiful so go there anytime !

  • SECOND : Should you buy stuff there ?

  • Yes absolutely ! However ... (there is a however)

  • I would focus on the premium stuff. Not especially the most expensive stuff but the most uncommon stuff.

  • The thing you could hardly find somewhere else. Like for example the really specific pasta, or the very intricate olive oils.

  • Third an final question : Sould you EAT there ?

  • Umh, it's a bit more tricky this one.

  • It really depends of what you think about the place.

  • So, at the end, I think it's a very enjoyable experience.

  • A bit pricey but the price is only legitimate considering its scenery, its location, and the access you have to all those premium produces.

  • So guys, that's it ! I hope you enjoyed this tour of EATALY.

  • If you did, then give it a thumb UP ! And share thare on you social media. You know the deal

  • spreaditlikebutter!

  • Share your opinion about this place !

  • Would it be like in the US or somewhere alse...

  • Last : people click subscribe ! 'cause I make new videos every week ...

  • And it's mostly about sharing my food adventures. Like for example, the second episode of the NY flog where I shared with you my full absolute bagel experience.

  • What a joy it was !

  • But also, you know : recipes ! As I know that Chrismas is around the corner ... those quick cheats recipes : sauces, salades and sides that I made last year !

  • Speaking about Christmas, there is a very special video coming this Sunday. It's gonna be super french and super EPIC !

  • In the meantime, take care ! Bye bye, salut !

Hey guys, salut ! This is Alex.
