New York the food mecca of the world

New York, my second city home. It's true when people say you fall in love with that city more and more each and every time you go. I went over mid December with some friends for shopping and of course eating! What better way to share vacation time and adventure stories than over food at NYC foodie specialties. I fell in LOvE with an Italian's heaven "Eataly" located in the flat iron district, this italian's north American dream is set up as a marketplace where you can stroll in and get home made pasta made daily, fresh meat and fish, all the finest in olive oils, Italian imported ingredients, cheese emporiums and bakeries bakeries bakeries....and at the back a small resto where all these delicious foods come together. Needless to say you will be salivating from entry to exit!

Walking through the aisles brought me back to my days and the ingredients my Nonna's would use and the stories that accompanied the meals and recipes. That is what Eataly gave me. A nostalgic reenactment of the days I would watch all these ingredients, foods and meals using all the familiar foods around me come together by the ones that are now gone. This place brought me back to the basement kitchens of my family home and the memories and stories we shared and that will always be remembered

Happy memories
