Beecher's for Dinner

So I've stopped at Beecher's before for lunch to pick up some of their amazing mac and cheese, but I went for dinner for the first time last week. What a great spot! Down in the basement they have a cute restaurant. The menu is cheese heavy but there are some other things too. It's also happy hour until 7 and they have some great drink and food deals ($7 for mac and cheese, $7 for a cheese plate, and $7 for the nightly special cocktail!). I couldn't resist the mac and cheese, so we got that, a cheese platter, and a beet salad with cheese curds. Yum! The cocktail was a yummy citrus infused vodka with a little sparkling water and I think a tiny bit of simple syrup. It was tasty without being too sweet. Great place to go for dinner or after-work cocktails and snacks.

Beecher's Mac and Cheese

Yum! I'd read on TastingTable or somewhere that Beecher's, a Seattle-based cheese shop, was opening a new location in New York. They're known for their Flagship cheese. I'd also read about their macaroni and cheese - a guilty pleasure. The store is on 20th and Broadway, just a few blocks from my office, so I ran over to try it out. Amazing! Creamy, thick, cheese sauce with a great kick (I think there were a few red pepper flakes in there) on perfectly cooked penne. It was unbelievable. They also have a glass room where you can see people actually making cheese. Pretty cool. They had all sorts of sandwiches and snacks etc, so I'll have to branch out next time. This macaroni and cheese is amazing - definitely worth a trip to the Flatiron to try it!
