Carlo’s Bake Shop & Eataly

Even though neither of us are huge fans of the show “Cake Boss”, we had heard that the bakery was worth a visit. We also wanted to see the new Mario Batali, Joe & Lydia Bastianich joint “Eataly”. So, a NYC trip was made this Friday.

In front of “Carlo’s” in Hoboken, NJ. We had some “lobster tails”, mini cannolis & eclairs. The tails are supposedly a specialty, and they were definitely worth it.

At “Eataly”, 5th Ave. New York, NY. We really had no intention of purchasing anything here as the prices are exorbitantly high. After reading a couple of articles in a couple different periodicals, we kind of knew what to expect. But it is definitely fun just to look at all the high quality food. When I was checking out the fish I was reminded of the “food halls” in Herrod’s, London. Ironically, considering the publicity of such unparalleled gastronomic standards, “Eataly” falls a bit short of the London department store’s food halls.
