This place is down near where I was born on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. They do a good job of stocking local and artistically cheese etc.
Now, lets talk about beer. I am a British beer nut. My favorite brewery may be Witchwood in Oxforshire. I am mad for their Hobgoblin Ale. However, I can take you to places in the US, including in NY which brew quite a bit which will not just measure up but more than hold their own against anything else in the world. I am not saying better...just saying that you can get a pretty good pint of local here in the US right now.
