I’m very excited to have completed an assignment on “gourmet New York” for Travel + Leisure Mexico. I visited many markets in NY including Mario Batali’s new Eataly. I also ate, for research and photography purposes only of course: one cheeseplate and a glass of wine at Eataly, plus one gelato and one custard, six oysters from the Lobster Place, three chocolates from Jacques Torres Chocolates, one bowl of pasta from Table Tales, and an undisclosed amount of samples from various vendors. What can I say? It was delicious.
