The Marathon Dinner at Eataly Flatiron

Eataly Flatiron serves The Marathon Dinner the night before the race, a buffet of pasta and sides in La Scuola, its cooking school. Runners load up on carbs at a communal table alongside supporters and anyone who just comes for the food, with seats taken first come, first served. Two seatings run at 4 PM and 6 PM, about an hour each and booked separately. Tickets cost $65.64 per guest and all sales are final. Eataly asks for dietary restrictions 48 hours ahead.
