The great thing about living in New York is that we get to have some of the best cities on the East Coast right at our fingertips, many of which are the perfect destinations for real foodies! Not too long ago we talked about how amazing of a city Albany is. But one thing we forgot to mention? That there's an incredible shop that serves up some of the best grilled cheese sandwiches you'll ever have.
Down on Delaware Avenue in the city of Albany, there's a little speciality shop that you must visit.
Carrying both Domestic and European cheeses, The Cheese Traveler quickly became a favorite destination once it opened back in 2012.
Steadily expanding their business since opening, the shop now features a menu full of extraordinary grilled cheese sandwiches!
Known for their vast knowledge of cheese, you'll quickly realize that these are not your average sandwiches.
For starters, their Simple Pleasure sandwich is far from simple.
Putting a unique and gourmet twist on your average grilled cheese, the Simple Pleasure sandwich features cheddar cheese from Vermont that's paired up with Edelweiss Havarti from Wisconsin. Served to you nice and hot on a Bonfiglio sandwich loaf.
Another bonus? All of their sandwiches can be made on Gluten Free bread!
One of their most popular sandwiches is the Sweet and Savory, filled with smoked duck breast and their jam of the day!
If you follow The Cheese Traveler on Facebook you'll be able to keep an eye out for speciality sandwiches that are being offered.
In the past The Cheese Traveler has been known for creating whimsical sandwiches, some of which even get their names from Pop Culture! A popular sandwich has been one that was nicknamed The Kanye, featuring a jam that had gold leaf flakes.
Aside from these tasty sandwiches, the shop also features other weekly specials that will wow your taste buds.
From soups to burgers, this shop is always featuring specials that will make your stomach rumble with anticipation. Another fantastic feature of the shop? They have quite a large section where you can find condiments, olive oils, pickles and other items that you'll want to take home with you.
And if you were wondering what you were going to wash down that delicious sandwich with? Then wonder no more! The shop has an amazing variety of craft beers and cider.
You'll find that many of the craft beverages here are from local places within New York or other fantastic locations from around the country. These are the kind of flavorful beverages that you won't be able to find at just any average place selling alcohol.
