EATALY to open in Asti
Well it seems that Eataly franchise is rapidly expanding; besides the flagship in Turin, now joined by other EATALYS in Bologna, Milan, Pinerolo and Tokyo (anyone know what happened to the New York one?), a new Eataly will open in December in Asti.
This Eataly is in partnership with a company called (what else) TUIT (web site only in Italian) and will be located just off Piazza Alfieri on Via Grandi, on the same street as the Teatro Alfieri - in fact I found out walking to the ticket office to apply for opera tickets-and it looks like as if it will be principally a restaurant. Will keep everyone posted of course.
Re: New York Eataly. It was originally supposed to open this year, but according to Mario Batali it will now be June 2010. It remains to be seen whether this will actually happen. It's a very ambitious and risky enterprise in the current economic situation, so I would not be surprised if it is delayed further or does not happen at all (though I certainly hope it does). We shall see.
