Mario Batali and Joseph and Lidia Bastianich opened Eataly today in New York. This foodies’ paradise is a superstore (50,000 square feet) featuring everything fresh and inspiring about Italian cuisine. Take a week – or two — to visit every café, wine, vegetable, cheese, fresh fish, bakery and patisserie stall. There’s even a rooftop beer garden. The best part? Eataly not only offers some of the best from Italy, but also supports local farms and markets.

We think the Norah Satchel is chic, classic silhouette with cool hardware—a fall must-have. InStyle, Elle and People StyleWatch agree!

All proceeds will benefit the New York City Aids Fund.
