What's New Around Town?

New space for Madison Cheese, etc.

   Madison Cheese, etc., incidently our favorite cheese shop, has steadily grown in popularity since it began in 2008. Responding to this wonderful increase in demand for the cheeses and other gourmet goodies that she offers, owner Fawn Heblinger has expanded the size of the shop bit by bit, to the point where the cheese shop had finally outgrown the available real estate in its courtyard location behind the Madison Wine Shop.

   But have no fear, the shop did not move far away ... just around the corner, in a stand-alone building by itself, at 119 Samson Rock Drive (the "road" that we all think is really just a pass through the Stop & Shop parking lot), is the new and improved Madison Cheese, etc. ... Clearly marked with posters in the windows. (A new sign is on order to replace the "Shoreline Aesthetics" sign that's there from the previous occupants of the building.)

   To find the new location, walk through the courtyard from Rte 1, the Boston Post Rd, and then to the right a few doors down, or drive through the Stop & Shop parking lot and find a spot for your car.  Drop in and see Fawn and her son and all the wonderful cheeses that you've come to expect, and more.
   Oh, and if you love grilled cheese sandwiches, this is the place for made-to-order gourmet choices ... elevating this childhood favorite to new heights of flavor pleasures.

Flavor for Madison
   Remember the Madison Beanery? It is now a whole new place: Flavor for Madison. It's charming and comfy and the Fresh Fusion menu caters to vegetarians and vegans, with a few selections to satisfy us carnivors too.  Oh, and yes, there's coffee & tea too. A great spot to meet with friends for a quick bite for lunch, or a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack.
   [I'd say go for breakfast too, but if you are staying with us, why, when ours are so yummy here at the inn :-).]

   Madison Cheese, etc. and Flavor for Madison ... two of many great choices for lunch while you're exploring Madison center.
