The apex of taste is not often found in dank, smelly caves. But on the west side of Manhattan two of the city's premier cheese sellers are betting that local caves are the way to go.
Terrance Brennan, the chef-owner of the restaurants Picholine and Artisanal, has built five caves in the Artisanal Cheese Center, located in an otherwise soulless office building. And Rob Kaufelt, owner of Murray's Cheese Shop in Greenwich Village, has moved his much-loved shop into a larger space across the street, where he has installed four caves in the basement and two glass-front "show" caves on the main level.
