Union Square, Flatiron District & Gramercy
The crown jewel of Italian food emporium Eataly is this covered rooftop garden tucked betwixt the Flatiron’s corporate towers. The theme is refreshed each season, meaning you might find a Mediterranean beach escape one month and an alpine country retreat the next, but the setting is unfailingly impressive and food and drink always match up to the gourmet goodies below.
The sneaky access elevator is near the checkouts on the 23rd St side of the store.
