Foodies both local and international have been flocking to the Flatiron District’s mega Italian emporium Eataly since it opened its doors in 2010. Gourmand pilgrims now have another delicious destination: Eataly NYC Downtown, which opened its doors mid-August. You’ll find many familiar Eataly features — some unique to this location — as well as five restaurants, nine take-away counters, two cafes, and one wine bar. Click through for our family-friendly guide to this sure to be hoppin’ hotspot!

To Celebrate With Italy & Eataly

Another spot getting hip to the family-friendly "Why wait 'til midnight?" timeline is Eataly downtown. From 5 to 9 p.m. its Orto e Mare restaurant will have hands-on games and activities paired with kid-approved Italian dishes like pizza and pasta, as well as fun mocktails. (Parents can enjoy overflowing bubbly if so desired.) The festivities will also feature a countdown to midnight in Italy, which here is at the civilized hour of 6 p.m.! Head home after sweet treats of hot chocolate and panettone.  Click here to buy tickets.
