Sir Kensington: Here I encountered an old Fromagier by the name of Rusty. He told me, "I lived in a cave as a gruyere ager in my youth, I've drunk goat cheese from the teet, But I've never had cheese this GOOD!"
Kate Furman: Excellent selection of cheeses and meats. The sales associates are super nice too.
Serious Eats: The uptown outpost of one our favorite cheese shops in the city. Smaller than the original and lacking in the awesome sandwiches, but great for grocery shopping or a quick snack.

Karen: The mushroom and gruyere quiche is delicious. Try the mixed berry tart for dessert.
Ignacio Sb: Good food, good drinks, good service and free wifi... What else?
JJay043: A Belgian classic, always a best choice for traditional European pastry, excellent traditional bread and savory lunches. I love this location close to commercial areas but in a quiet side street.

The Corcoran Group: Great Midtown business lunch spot. Try the bacon lobster roll.
Eater: Cocktail maven Julie Reiner revamped the list and the bartenders. As has always been the case, the room is dark, romantic, and old school--a perfect place for fun rendezvous or a business drink.
Bergdorf Goodman: It's a BG New York City Secret! Victoria Beckham loves this uber chic and classic bar. Read more.
