NEW YORK -- The Empire State Building (ESB), the “World’s Most Famous Building,” announced that it will feature Eataly as its latest Tastes of New York Experience, a year-round offering of pop-ups which feature unique New York City bites. From June 4 through Aug. 31, Eataly will bring its New York City spin on “la dolce vita” to the Empire State Building’s iconic Observation Deck with a curated selection of its most beloved desserts and beverages.

“We are excited to present Eataly’s true ‘estate Italiana’ as part of our year-round featured Tastes of New York to our visitors,” said Dan Rogoski, observatory general manager. “The Empire State Building can be seen and photographed all around New York City, but only a visit to our Observatory Deck gives you the most authentic # 1 experience in the United States, and the best view in New York City.”

Located on the iconic 86th Floor Observation Deck each day from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., the seasonal activation will bring together two iconic New York City brands for a delicious addition to visitors’ trip to the “World’s Most Famous Building.”

Guests can indulge in a variety of handcrafted gelato flavors which include Cioccolato (Chocolate), Pistacchio (Pistachio), Fior di Latte (Sweet Milk), Limone (Lemon), and Fragola (Strawberry).
