Nolita House Announces Cheez-a-palooza III

MANHATTAN, NY, On Thursday May 3, 2007 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, celebrate the spring with the third in a series of seasonal cheese festivals held at Nolita House. These festivals are designed to bring great cheese, libations and music together for an intriguing intermingling of the senses. Come join the Nolita House team along with Cheese Evangelists Waldemar & Nadia, and DJ FK for a hot night of reggae in deliciously cool surroundings.

You have tried artisan cheese bare naked on bread but have you tried it melted on, baked in or blended with other favorite foods? You will on this night. This festival will feature six of this spring’s best globally selected artisan cheeses with those same cheeses cooked in various appetizers. Some of the items include a Piave Vecchio and Pancetta Mini Grilled Cheese Sandwiches; Mini Valdeon Blue Cheese Burgers on Brioche and Four Year Aged Gouda Mini Mac & Cheese. Each Guest will receive a drink ticket for a glass of wine or beer that has been selected to compliment the cheese & food. Guests will progress from station to station sampling pairings at their own pace while engaging in conversation with distinguished experts, pairing enthusiasts and reggae aficionados.

Save the date and bring a friend. Tickets are $40 in advance and $50 at the door. All paying guests will be entered to win dinner for two at Nolita House Restaurant & Bar and other prizes. To purchase tickets please call (212) 625-1712.
