three chairs

If you take a tour of the Farnsworth House, you get to use these three chairs and the one bench while you take your shoes off before you go inside.

Pasticcini

Really? How would you ever decide?

(I couldn’t, so I had gelato instead.)

Back Corner

I once had a bad experience at a grocery store that we can just call “Whole Foods”* – I got in trouble for taking photos, which I thought was a joke at first but which as it turned out was most certainly NOT a joke. Those “Whole Foods” people aren’t fooling around.

But here at Eataly, no one care that I was taking pictures of, well, everything. Even shopping baskets stacked up in the hallway to the restroom.

* It was at this store.

Table near the kitchen

I understand that maybe some people would object to being seated near the kitchen.

But those people would miss the chance to fill up the evening with stealth-shooting the kitchen door and the way the light ebbed and flowed and the staff moved in practiced fashion.
