Cheese + Beers = Cheers!
Join Murray's Cheese and Kelso of Brooklyn for a cheese and beer extravaganza this Friday. During this walk-around tasting, sample cheese and beer while you chat with Murray's mongers and Kelso's brewers. If this is your first time sampling their amazing session beers, you're in for a treat -- and a pairing sensation with our cave-aged treasures.

Intermezzo Menu at Po

Po, Steve Crane’s welcoming Italian restaurant has just launched an Intermezzo menu, serving a menu of afternoon snacks to hold you over between lunch and dinner. It’s ideal for toddlers who need an early dinner, and parents who need that early glass of wine. On the menu you’ll find bruschettas topped with stracchino, figs, honey and walnut pesto as well as “piccola piatti” like polenta with lamb ragu and mascarpone.  Perhaps what makes the menu most special is the value that’s built into it. Large bruschettas, three to an order and in five varieties, are only $8; salumi and formaggi plates are $10; and all piccola piatti, from grappa cured salmon to roasted porchetta, are $12.  
Po is located on Cornelia Street in the West Village.
