If you haven’t gotten my Christmukkah gift yet, might I suggest a zillion dollar gift certificate to Eataly? Yes, I know, Eataly is old news — thoroughly devoured by the food media upon its opening in September. I only went for the first time today for lunch, and not because I’m a lame-o, but because I *can’t* stand being jostled by crowds while I food shop (don’t ask how I survive the coop). Hence, I don’t hit up hotspots on opening month if I can help it. Admit it or not, shopping for food is full-on sensual: You eat with your eyes, smelling and touching your way to deciding whether or not you want to consume something. It’s a full-body/mind/soul process and when there is someone ramming a stroller into my shins, screaming into their cell phone or otherwise getting in my personal space, I get primally angry. So I waited for the buzz to die down a bit, finally checked it out, loved it and can’t wait to go on a proper Eataly spree ASAP.
