First off, I apologize for the delay, blogger was down over night so although yesterday's post was written, it did not have the opportunity to go live till now:
Deviating somewhat from our good deals around town spotlight in our "How to" column, I thought I should alert you all to a new development in the Daniel Boulud empire, one where we can definitely have the opportunity to splurge -- Epicerie Boulud located at 64th and Broadway opened in conjunction with Boulud Sud. It is Boulud's first foray into retail and boy did he choose to pair with the right cheese purveyour -- Saxelby cheese, one of my favorite places to procure cheese around town and previously you had to go all the way down to the Essex Street market, but now a small selection of Saxelby's cheeses will be featured at Epicerie along with an excellent French cheese selection. Apart from the cheese, there is charcuterie, prepared sandwiches, salads, pastries, and more. In the evenings, they will have a raw bar with lovely oysters. Today was the first day they were open to the public till 8pm and it sure looks like they have some finishing touches to put on the place, but when it is finished fully, it will have that fabulous French cafe/grocer "je ne sais quoi" feel. So check back by in about a week or two when they have worked out the kinks and it sure will be a place for a splurge.
Stay tuned later for a recap of dinner at Boulud Sud.
