The word from the Eataly booth at the Flatiron Chefs event is that Eataly (200 5th Avenue) will open August 31st. We even snapped a copy of the floorplan (click photo to expand) which shows a pizza/pasta takeaway area, mini food eateries with pesce, carne, verdure, 2 espresso bars, 1 gelateria, 1 panino bar, 1 wine shop, fresh mozarella, salumi, formaggi, and a rotsisserie stand with all sorts of meat and poultry. The rooftop microbrewery is slated to follow in late September/early October.
