The grilled-cheese trend don’t stop: The latest option for melted cheese lovers is Little Muenster, opening Tuesday on the Lower East Side. Owners Adam Schneider and Vanessa Palazio based some of their creative flavor mash-ups on favorite pastas, like one sandwich with leek confit, Gruyère, and pancetta (chevre was added for an acidic kick), and they also have the option to add marrow butter to any sandwich for a dollar extra. When delivery begins in a few weeks, customers can choose to have the sandwich cooked on premises or delivered toaster-ready “to protect against sogginess,” Schneider explains. For now, you can take out or grab one of thirteen seats beneath a cheese-grater chandelier for lunch, dinner, and late night (till midnight Sundays, 2 a.m. during the week, and 4 a.m. Thursday through Saturday). See the space and some food in our slideshow, and preview the menu below.
