New Neighbor on 57th Street!!!

Whoo Hoo. We have a new neighbor down the block on 57th Street; the 'old' Istria Cafe has a NEW owner and we wish Belinda and her team much success. Please stop in and wish her luck. It is great that we have another local small business that will add to the fabric of Hyde Park.

Cheese: Old favorites, New favorites

One of our 'old favorites' is the peerless Pleasant Ridge Reserve from Upland Cheese in Dodgeville, WI. An artisanal cheese crafted from unpasteurized milk from their own Wisconsin cows, fed and raised using traditional practices This cheese is made only from early spring through fall.The sweet flavors of the pasture are detectable in every bite of Pleasant Ridge Reserve.

One of our new favorites is Rush Creek Reserve also from Upland Cheese. They have made just one cheese for the last 10 years, Pleasant Ridge Reserve. Now This. With a chalky beige rind, Rush Creek Reserve has a rich, slightly grassy aroma and a mild flavor that hints of smoke and pork. A washed-rind cheese, it is wrapped with a strip of the same spruce bark. It is made from evening milk that was not pasteurized (it is aged for at least 60 days). Aging this style of cheese for so long is tricky, but worth the effort. A great ay to enjoy this cheese is to remove the top of the rind and scoop the cheese with a baguette.

Old and new, both wonderful.

Getting the hang of it.

Both stores are up and running.

We want to sincerely thank you all for your patience - working out the kinks took a couple weeks, and we're still getting everything down to a science, but we're starting to get the hang of it.

Come to 57th for specials, including French Dip and Stroganoff sandwiches, and come to 47th for all your cheese and specialty grocery needs. The rumor (or idea, really) that our 47th street location will be closing is not at all true. We're here for good.

Happy Fall!

57th

We will be opening our doors on 57th Street at 9AM tomorrow, Thursday, for our first day...we will be working out the kinks in our new systems for the first few days and hope you join us for the fun. Thanks for bearing with us over the past few months during the construction phase, we think that the wait will be worth it.

Look in this space tomorrow for interesting news...

Yep, sort of mysterious.
