Attention, obsessed foodies: gourmet food mecca Eataly is set to open its first store in Rockefeller Center in June. It'll be small, only around 400 square feet, but plans are afoot for a second, much larger store (6,000-7,000 square feet) in the Meatpacking District. I just got back from Turin, where I visited the original complex and ate at the most formal of its eight restaurants, Guido per Eataly... I'm still thinking about the vegetable-foam rainbow parfait, and a thin layer of white onion melted around a pork meatball, and the roulade of pheasant with thyme-scented grits, and the fresh agnolotti, and the incredible crusty bread, and the torrone semifreddo...
Speaking of torrone semifreddo, in early April (ETA: April 12), Turinese gelateria Grom is opening a second store. It will be located on Bleecker at Carmine. Watch out, Cones!
6/24/08 ETA: At the time of this writing, Eataly was expected to have opened in New York, but it has not! I am waiting with bated breath.
6/29/09 ETA: According to the New York Times, Eataly has finally signed a lease.

Mmm, I love torrone semi-freddo!
One of the early notions I had for the desserts salon series (aka "cakes 'n' songs") was going to be music, of course, and all kinds of semi-freddi, gelati and sorbetti, tutti fatti in casa...
Any information on employment opportunities or contact info for EATALY NYC? I'm a food scientist/gastronome and I have been trying to get in touch with them...
grazie!
I would try the contact information on the Website, Mike, which I've linked to. Good luck!
