DO TRY THIS AT HOME: A croissant, stuffed with layers and layers of thin prosciutto.
I was doing a job recently close to Eataly. (The giant, 50,000 sq. foot Italian Food Hall in the Flat Iron district). My morning ritual was a delicious Latte Macchiato, and a croissant, stuffed with mounds of thinly sliced Prosciutto di Parma. The croissants; crackly golden are made in-house, fresh daily.
I’m always a little confused as to why real Italians (who’ve come all the way from incredible, real, Italy) would queue up for hours to get into New York’s Eataly. But I guess everyone, at some time, craves the closest version of ‘home’, even when they’re nowhere near it.
The main portion of Eataly is open at 10. But here’s the secret: the door on 5th Avenue opens for good coffee and croissants at 8. Order the Latte Macchiato, you won’t regret it! (Delicious, even if you’re not Italian.)
I couldn’t of woken up on the first day of the New Year to something more delicious
Thank you Dim
Nice pics ‘n’ food. Actually, I’ve been there a couple of years ago.
I’m Italian (proud to be . . . ), and my young brother lives in Brooklyn and works in Manhattan. Just one thing , if you allow me to be fussy . . .this lovely Prosciutto is from a city called Parma, not Palma. Anyway you’re doing a great job with pic and food!
Thanks Paolo! My spell check is horrible. thanks again, d
This almost makes me wish I lived in NYC….if I couldn’t live in Italy, of course!
