So, a couple of weeks ago I decided to take my cousins to the Shake Shack. It appears that the Shake Shack has become some kind of phenomenon where people wait an hour on line for a burger, so of course, I had to go and figured having company wouldn't be that bad either. Well, since there's a Shake Shack in Madison Square Park, I figured it was also my duty to go and visit Eataly on 23rd St and 5th Avenue. For those of you who haven't heard of Eataly, allow me to explain; This is Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich (son of Lidia Bastianich) new venture. It's basically a huge food emporium with things all imported from Italy (hence the name) as well as mini-food stands(restuarants) scattered through out the building. After trying to figure out the way in to the place, we were in awe. Seriously, this place is awesome, but I do have a few complaints. First of all, it's way too crowded and very difficult to navigate. But all in all, it was fun time and the products are quite beautiful. Of course, in NYC there are plenty of places that offer the specialty food thing, and here's just another one to add to your list. Since it was so crowded, I wasn't able to get plenty of pictures, but I did get one that pulls at my heart strings: PASTA!
Then it was on to our next venture: The Shake Shack
They weren't kidding when they said the line would be long. It was definitely long.
But the question is: What is worth the wait....lol I have no pictures of the actual food, so you can take a guess on that. I had Shack Stack, which is a burger and a deep fried portabello mushroom stuffed with cheese piled on top of each other.... mmmmm. And then I sampled the Shack-ago dog which is a lovely beef hotdog piled with relish, onion, tomatoes, and pickled hot peppers (SO GOOD!). Oh, and cheese fries, can't forget the cheese fries! For dessert, we had fig and honey frozen custard. It was all awesome! So, go ahead and give it a try the next time you're in NYC!
