In celebration of National Cheese Day June 4, Sofitel New York has partnered with Murray’s Cheese, New York City’s oldest cheese shop, to open a pop-up cheese shop from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the hotel’s Gaby Brasserie Française.
A cheesemonger will offer tastings including a Bucheron goat’s-milk cheese from France, a St. Stephen’s cow’s-milk triple cream from New York, a Brebirousse d’Argental sheep’s-milk cheese from France, a Comte Saint Antoine cow’s-milk cheese from France, a Fourme d’Ambert cow’s-milk cheese from France and a Tarentaise cow’s-milk cheese from Vermont.
Diners at Gaby and patrons of Gaby Bar will be treated to a complimentary brie en croute with four-red-fruit jam.
Donations are welcome and will benefit New York’s Citymeals-on-Wheels.
Earlier this year, the hotel created a pop-up boulangerie on National French Bread Day that generated more than US$500 for City Harvest.
