The Rind
Essential Information
Remember when you were a kid and grilled cheese and tomato soup was the best possible lunch? Some things never change, and a grown-up version of that combo—like the one featuring the gooey Twisted Classic sandwich with Black Diamond five-year cheddar—at this midtown cheese, beer and wine bar is even better with a glass of Belgian-style ale from the rotating taps or a pour of wine paired with the food. The Rind also offers fancy mac and cheese, like the Not Your Mom’s Mac with three types of cheese and pancetta; lavish cheese plates; fresh salads (yep, they’re adorned with plenty of cheese); and rich, cheese-based desserts like crème brûlée. Grab a seat at the bar or one of the tables in this pocket-sized gem to enjoy some prime comfort food.
