Description

You have to root for a small shop dedicated to the love of cheese. Calf and Kid is one of several establishments peddling gastronomic goodies at Melrose Market on Capitol Hill. Owner Sheri LaVigne, a Brooklyn transplant, has earned a loyal following for her unabashed support of local artisan cheeses, as well as selections from Europe. Beyond the rich goodies for sale, the shop also offers a selection of crackers, jams, chocolate and fresh bread from Macrina Bakery.

    What matters most at The Calf and Kid, the dairy corner of the always-stimulating Melrose Market, is not so much what's in the cheese case, but the woman standing behind it. Sheri LaVigne is a wonderfully knowledgeable cheesemonger who cares deeply about regional cheese makers, their products, and her customers. Whether you're seeking stink and ooze or subtlety and elegance, LaVigne is certain to recommend the perfect wedge. HANNA RASKIN 1531 Melrose Ave., Suite C2, 467-544... More »
