Meat Sandwich/Panini at Eataly

Eataly is the Italian and fancier version of the Chelsea Market.

I was hungry, bored. So I went to this market with a friend to enjoy some meat sandwiches. When you first walk in, expect to see crowds EVERYWHERE. There is always a long line at the panini shop (at the 23rd street entry). They're currently selling a few seasonal/regional special, and I got this spicy pork and cheese panini, almost $10 with tax.

Spicy pork = salami. The cheese was tender and milky, perfect to be inside a sizzling hot panini. Even though the panini is previously to save time, it still tasted very fresh after it's been grilled.

Then I digged in deeper into the market, and to the right was another sandwich/meat shop. The meat they sell makes you drool---smell too good. We ordered a meat sandwich (~$11). The meat slices were tender, juicy, definitely a meaty sandwich, and way better than a Philly cheesesteak.

This Flatiron market is full of Italian delicious foods and it's definitely one of the places to shop if you're cooking a Italian dinner. Lunch-wise...$10 is probably too much for a sandwich. But it's always good to switch it up, can't always have Subway ;)
