WOW!!! We think this may have been our best meal in NYC. It's the largest artisanal Italian food and wine marketplace in the world. Here's the description from their web site:
The marketplace located at 200 Fifth Avenue (the former Toy Building) is the city's ultimate destination for food lovers to shop and taste and savor – an extravaganza includes a premier retail center for Italian delicacies and wine, a culinary educational center, and a diverse slate of boutique eateries. This gourmand's delight features cured meats and cheeses, fruits and vegetables, fresh meats, fresh fish, handmade pasta, desserts and baked goods and coffees.

| We ate at Le Verdure. It shouldn't surprise us that this ranked high for our most enjoyable eating. We like fresh food, vegetables, prepared simply, but we love interesting flavors and surprises. His description of thismenu is "...focus on flavor, not fussiness." |
 |
| I don't know how many "boutique eateries" there are in this place, but I walked by Fish, Meat, a Raw Bar, Desserts and there's more. There's bar seating where you can watch the preparation or you can table dine. It's all very casual and in spite of 50,000 sq feet, it's warm and beautiful. |
 |
| I mean really. |
 |
| This was the cheese and meats counter. |
 |
| Adding the juices |
 |
| There is a small market place for colorful kitchenware |
 |
| Leave room. |
 |
| Chocolate and Vanilla Gelato, sitting across the street from Eataly. The flatiron building is just to the left. And where else can you find cafe tables and chairs in the middle of an Ave. |
 |
| Right. |
