Oops oops, I'm running extremely behind here with my posts, it's my weekend lag time, I suppose you could call it...so let's rewind the clock and fill you in on Saturday and Sunday...
Friday evening on my way out of the office, upon a tip, I stopped into a fantastic little neighborhood store called Cheese on 62nd. A most unassuming block sandwiched between the hussle and bussle of Lexington Avenue in the lower 60s and the relatively quiet residental retail area of 3rd avenue. Walking into the small store front, you feel immediately transported to another time and place. Barely large enough to fit five people comfortably, you are confronted with wall to ceiling displays of various food products, artisanal crackers, pastas, pastes, jams, dried fruits, anything and everything you can think of. Turning your attention to the cheese selection, you will be equally as bombarded with the overstocked cheese case. A quick galance reveals cheeses that span the globe, some classics and some lesser known stars like the fantastic cheeses made by Lazy Lady Farm. Typically, I find with these sorts of neighborhoody stores, prices can sometimes be so marked up that it makes it daunting to even think about buying a cheese you can enjoy on a simple lowkey night. Not here, you can definitely find some decent deals and even better the sales people are very nice and allow you to have a few tastes if you're not sure exactly what you are in the mood for!
For all you Upper East Sider's out there or even Midtown East folks, it is definitely worth a visit to Cheese on 62nd! Always such a treat to find the small little neighborhoody places pulling their own weight and managing to stay a-float in our current economy!
