East Village Cheese – Doesn’t Get Cheaper Than This!
The first time I shopped at the East Village Cheese Shop, I hustled out of there with my purchase thinking there might have been a glitch in the pricing system. You would too if you were faced with a 1lb wheel of Brie priced at $1.99. Insane! I went back a second time thinking the prices would be back to normal, but much to my surprise, those were the “normal” prices.
Don’t get me wrong. I love a good deal, but what is a French girl to think when French cheese costs less in New York than in the country of origin? I mean, how is this logically possible? I looked into the reasons why cheese could be so cheap and apparently, quality is not an issue to worry about. So, I got with the fact that from then on, East Village Cheese would be my go-to place for cheese in Manhattan.
Forget Whole Foods and other hipster cheese shops! East Village Cheese carries an extensive cheese selection at prices you won’t find anywhere. In addition to cheeses, you can treat yourself to other yummy food items such as artisan breads, deli meats, olives, French patés and imported olive oils.
