Little Cheese Pub and a Caselulla Spinoff Opening Soon

Some cheese world news today. First, chef Daniel Angerer and his wife Lori Mason will open their previously announced Little Cheese Pub on West 23rd St. tomorrow. The small restaurant is located next the their three month-old sausage joint, Brats: Dogs & Wieners, and will focus on cheese and beer pairings and all kinds of cheese-centric fare. Think cheeseboards, cheese dips, six varieties of mac 'n' cheese with homemade noodles, and Gorgonzola cake. They don't have their liquor license yet—on offer is hot chocolate, spiced cider, and virgin mulled wine—but when they do, expect both wine and beer by the bottle and on tap.

Meanwhile, the cheese lords of Hell's Kitchen, a.k.a. the owners of wine and cheese bar Caselulla are opening up a new place called Elsewhere on December 14. Here, Megan Johnson, the chef at Caselulla will serve a menu of "farm-driven, shareable plates" along with a selection of cheeses. The complete menu is below.
