“Eataly has became the equivalent of an Italian piazza, where both the richest and the poorest feel comfortable,” he said. “You can get a $5 gelato or a $100 meal.”

I remember trying to figure out if Eataly was a thing worth going to the last time I was visiting NY and I couldn't figure out from the website which of its sub-establishments served actual meals. Also it seemed likely to be a shitshow.

I like the idea of eataly and walk around sometimes, also I use their bathroom a lot

also can someone decide whether or not we are locking this thread and going w/ the other one
The one time I went to Eataly it did seem like kind of a shitshow -- I walked around a bit but felt pressed by the crowds, then ate some gelato and an espresso at a very cramped and uncomfortable counter

NYC is kind of like that in general anyway -- most things that are any good and well known are also mobbed all the time, and if you hate crowds the way I do, the crowdedness completely overwhelms the good things about the experience

Could almost start a subthread about Atlantic Monthly articles that are supposed to be about gender but are actually about ruling class gender:
http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/10/the-weaker-sex/309094/
In 2012 America, as she points out, women are better educated than men (women earn the majority of bachelor’s and graduate degrees); an escalating number of single women younger than 30 earn more than their male peers; and nine of the 10 U.S. job industries with the most projected growth are women-dominated. This last figure has resulted from various societal shifts, ranging from a late-20th-century fall in manufacturing jobs to the rise of such lucrative, almost exclusively female professions as psychotherapy. (Indeed—do you know a male therapist? I don’t, and my last therapist charged a murderous $275 an hour.)

I feel like that's one small step from making fun of those people, like this line could make hipster runoff:
“Come on, let’s go smoke cigars and play drunken Madden,” Mr. Brogan said, moving his thumbs to mime an Xbox controller. Mr. McLaughlin’s phone lit up and he jumped, but alas, it was only a Facebook status update.

there were so many stores like that opening up in the area around when we moved. There was this one TINY clothing shop called "Goose Barnacle" that was like "here is a rack with three plaid shirts. Each of them costs $250 dollars."
"Goose Barnacle" became a running joke with me and H -- a catchall term that we would use to describe any such seemingly useless vanity business.
