        <content>...Other than Artisanal? I've been there and not crazy about the set up/ambiance. Looking for something else with an equal breadth of selection.</content>

      <content>Picholine is the restaurant that put cheese on the NYC map, so to speak, and is, of course, the "mother" restaurant of Artisanal.  At Picholine, there's a specially-built cheese cave, and their world famous cheese expert, Max McCalman, is usually on the premises.

Edited to add:  When the entire restaurant was recently refurbished, they added a wine and cheese bar.</content>

      <content>Casellula which just opened. But if you're looking for a full menu as well then neither that nor Riposo works.</content>
