Instead of reaching for that tired Kraft box next time you have a hankering for warm and gooey mac-and-cheese goodness, head downtown to Pete’s and allow your mind to be blown. The trick to the resto's secret sauce? A perfect balance of Vermont sharp cheddar, asiago, and goat cheeses — plus a touch of tarragon.
Pete’s Cafe and Bar, 400 South Main Street (at 4th Street); 213-617-1000.
