Eataly Soho is Now Open! - Our Veg/Vegan Group Will Visit! - PLUS SALE!
Eataly Soho, 200 Lafayette St, New York, NY, 10012, us
(From the official announcement:) **[Eataly SoHo](https://www.eataly.com/us_en/stores/nyc-soho) — our third location in New York City — has officially opened its doors.** The eagerly awaited store is located in a historically landmarked building at 200 Lafayette Street nestled in the heart of SoHo, at the intersection of Broome Street.
**After opening the first location in Torino, Italy, in 2007, we made our United States debut with the 2010 opening of our flagship store in the Flatiron district, which has since become a beloved destination for New Yorkers and visitors alike**. Following the successful expansion to Westfield WTC mall in the Financial District in 2016, we’re now increasing our presence in one of the world’s most iconic neighborhoods — SoHo — known for its trendy atmosphere and vibrant shopping culture.
*“We are very proud to expand our presence in New York City with a third store and to open in such an incredible and iconic neighborhood as SoHo. North America is the focus for expansion over the next five years, and we are actively pursuing several initiatives throughout the territory, from increasing the floor space of our flagship store in the Flatiron district to actively seeking new locations in Manhattan and throughout the United States and Canada,”* says **Tommaso Brusò, CEO of Eataly North America**. *“Eataly embodies in its DNA the authentic Italian culinary culture and lifestyle and our goal is to continue building our love story with the North America community, especially with this opening in a magical city that has welcomed us from the beginning.”*
**Eataly SoHo spans nearly 20,000 square feet. It offers an array of iconic Eataly experiences, showcasing the brand’s high-quality and authentic Italian DNA.** Eataly SoHo features a restaurant and a café open all day, as well as a specialty market with a carefully chosen selection of Italian and local delicacies.
**”SALE-A-BRATE!” “From January 5-February 4, enjoy up to 50% off over 500 artisan products.” OUR GROUP will visit the new EATALY SOHO, check out the store, cafe, and restaurant, and shop the sale!**
**I love Eataly, and have been going since the opening of their US flagship store in 2010 (on the corner of 5th Avenue & 23rd Street). While it is not nearly totally vegan, there are numerous vegan items for sale at the store, restaurants and cafes.** Particular favorites of mine are the focaccias and breads, many of which are vegan. I’ve also had lots of great dining experiences in their restaurants and cafes. And I have greatly enjoyed shopping from **the huge selection and variety of packaged food items (imported from Italy of course)** including Italian drinks and sodas (many of which are available chilled).
**WHERE TO MEET:** We will meet **outside** the **main front door** to EATALY SOHO at 200 Lafayette Street (corner Broome Street) at **7:00pm. (Don’t be late!)** I, David Greene, am 6’4″ and I will be holding a VEG MEETUP sign. At 7:10pm we will all be entering the store. Before we split up to shop, we will establish a meeting time and place (within Eataly Soho) to meet up after our shopping.
I love Italian food and the Eataly chain. I am super excited to check out the new Eataly in Soho! Join us. And I am sure there will be eating involved, I know I will be!
David
