No matter if you’re heading west or east this weekend, gastronomic adventures await you.
To the west: Explore Eataly, Manhattan’s new all-singing, all-dancing Italian food emporium-extravaganza brought to you by Mario Batali and Joe and Lidia Bastianich. Get there early (200 Fifth Ave., at 23rd Street), snag a parking spot, and spend the day shopping, eating, drinking, oohing and ahing.
To the east: On Sunday Sept. 12, you can join the annual North Fork Foodie’s tour, sponsored by the North Fork Reform Synagogue. This self-guided tour takes you to some of the area’s best farms and wineries—some of them granting access to areas or programs that are usually off limits to visitors.
