Now that we know cheese and crack are basically the same thing (um, kinda), we’ve decided to stop fighting our crippling burrata addiction and just accept it.
With help from Dine by Tasting Table, a new app that curates the best and most popular spots to eat in the city, we’ve created the official NYC Cheese Bucket List. You’re welcome.
