Celebrate National Cheese Day With Gooey Bites Around The Neighborhood

If you smelled something special and a little funky in the air this morning, you were right–it’s National Cheese Day! Stock up on Lactaid pills and get ready to celebrate, because here are some cheesy highlights from around Ditmas Park:

Rib Eye Steak Sandwich from Ox Cart: Fancy bleu cheese-slathered, and ideal for your favorite instance of National Cheese Day. Remember you get awesome rewards for ordering in, too.
Portobello Sandwich from The Farm: A beautiful veggie option with mozzarella galore.
Apple bread/cheddar grilled cheese from Lark: Okay, so this one isn’t on the menu–but if they’re not able to make it for you (and chances are they’re totally happy to do it), take that apple bread home and make it yourself. Toasty.
Ras Malai from Madina: The dessert features homemade cheese and almonds.

Cheddar Chive Biscuit Sandwich from Cafe Madeline: In addition to the cheddar in the biscuit, this little guy comes with provolone and such good spicy mayo.

Quesadillas from Cinco de Mayo: The Mexican sausage and marinated pork ones sound especially wonderful.
Labne Cheese from Mimi’s Hummus: The spread comes with olive oil zaatar dressing.
Goat Cheese, Egg Whites, and Baby Arugula Sandwich from Qathra: Light in some ways, decadent in others.
Butternut Gnocchi from The Castello Plan: Features mushroom, truffle oil, and parmesan.
