During
my last trip to NYC, I was finally able to make it to Mario Batali’s
famed Eataly. The place is an all out sensory experience. It’s like a
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for Italian food and really fun to
just walk around on the first floor and browse the offerings. I didn’t
bother with the half dozen or so restaurants on the street level, I knew
what I wanted...
On
the rooftop of the building is their Birreria, a huge all-seasons beer
garden complete with house beers available on cask. With my blood
sausage and kale salad, I was able to sample each of their current
casks:
Barista: Robust Coffee Porter
Wanda: Chestnut Mild Ale
Gina: Thyme Pale Ale
All were excellent, but my favorite by far was the Barista. Nothing like a smooth espresso flavored beer to cap a rich meal.
In sum, it’s
a great place and I’m excited to visit again in the summer.
