Best NYC grilled cheese

That NYTimes article (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/03/din...
)made me hungry, but LA's a bit out of my range. My local diner does a respectable job, but where in the city can you get a really good grilled cheese?

    I second 'wichcraft. The one in Soho at least has a grilled cheddar sandwich with pears on cranberry-walnut bread.

      B&H Vegetarian, in the East Village on 2nd ave, has a memorable grilled cheese. They use thick, buttery homemade bread, and then use plenty of butter and cheese. It's good with a cup of their soup.

        Amys bread grilled cheese is so heavenly. Havent had it in a while, they closed the Amys bread I used to go to but im assuming the other locations, chelsea market, are still open- but she makes a grilled cheese on amazing bread with.... let me see.. chedder, some sort of tomato/ chile spread that includes red onion and cilantro...its sort of tangy and sort of sweet and sort of cheesy, im telling you it is so good and perfect for a day like today. Try one today!

            What's on the Bouchon Bakery grilled cheese? I love Bouchon and I love grilled cheese, so I just might have to try this sandwich this week!

              It's just a grilled cheese sandwish, I believe they use gruyere. They serve it with a tomato soup, it's quite tasty.

            Sandwich Planet does a mean grilled cheese. Even better when it's done on stirato.

                I actally had a really bad grilled cheese from Sandwich Planet recently, and I was shocked because I usually love everything I get from there. The bread was bone dry, and it seems that it had been pressed instead of grilled. Maybe it was an off day.

                  'wichcraft has a good one made with cheddar, bacon, and apple slices on pumpernickel.
