CheapSkate: FREE events in NYC this week: cheese, crafts and science!

Celebrate the art of cheese at Castello’s Cheese Pop-Up Store in SoHo

Mmmmm, cheese. If you’re a fellow lover of the delectable dairy product, then stop on by the Castello Cheese Pop-up Store this summer for some unique lessons that revolve around — you guessed it! — cheese. If you’re lucky, you also might catch a live cheese sculpting by food artist Jim Victor on certain days. So if you find yourself on a leisurely stroll through SoHo today, tomorrow or any subsequent Wednesday, Thursday or Friday from now through July 6, pop into the pop-up for a course on the “Perfect Panini” (Wednesdays); “Fondue For You” (Thursdays); and “Bye-Bye PB & J” (Fridays), where you’ll find that cheese, not peanut butter, is actually jelly’s best friend. (Wednesdays.-Fridays through July 6, noon-7 p.m. daily, FREE, Castello Cheese Pop-Up Store, 462 West Broadway, castellocheese.com/en-us/castello-pop-up-store)
