It's a grey/gray rainy day here in New York, so talk quickly turns to comfort food. Imagine our delight at finding a restaurant on the isle of Manhattan that specializes in - ta-da! - macaroni and cheese!
Yes, Sarita's Macaroni & Cheese on E. 12th Street has moved to the top o' the restaurant list. What a concept! According to the New York Post (October 2, 2006):
Even with all the delays, when they opened their doors in late June, they weren't ready for the onslaught. Despite torrential rain, the lines snaked down the block - and the throngs kept coming.
"We got slammed," says Sarita. "The volume changed everything. We went from a four-person staff to a 14-person staff in five days."
The volume continued to increase, thanks to good press and word-of-mouth. Today S'MAC feeds as many as 500 people a day, eating skillets filled with Nosh, Major Munch, and Mongo-size portions of mac-'n'-cheese.
Those dishes run from $4.25 for a small skillet of traditional mac cheese to $16 for a large Cajun (with green pepper and andouille sausage) or Masala (with Indian spices). Other varieties include goat cheese, brie, cheeseburger and manchego.
All-American (the regular stuff we know and love), 4 Cheese, Goat Cheese, Gruyere, Cajun - well, the list goes on. And ya' gotta love a place that has a Mac-and-Cheese Happy Hour. Da-yum!
Diet-schmiet. Sometimes a girl just needs a little mac-n-cheese lovin'.
