“Fondue and Mussels”

Sunday Fondue Nights at Trestle Returns

Just imagine a pot of spicy Gruyere, nutty Emmentaler and creamy Vacherin cheeses bubbling away, ready to be dipped with steamed potatoes, cornichons and soft baguettes. Yes, it's that time of the year again when fondue entices those of us who want a warm, cozy dining experience we can share with our friends and family. At Trestle on Tenth, chef Ralk Kuettel and his team have started serving their Swiss-style Sunday dinners. For $24, you not only get the fun fondue experience but also a Swiss wine pairing (tea or shots of Kirschwasser are other choices). The fondue dinners run every Sunday through the end of February. Enjoy!

Trestle on Tenth is located at 242 Tenth Ave., 212-645-5659, www.trestleontenth.com.
