Downtown’s New Cheese Mecca (and French Bistro)They say, when the going gets tough, the tough eat cheese.So thankfully, there’s a new cheese temple in town…Say bonjour to Bar Artisanal, opening soon in Tribeca. The latest in fromage offerings comes to you from Terrance Brennan, New York’s cheese kingpin, and chef/owner of Artisanal and Picholine. At Bar Artisanal, which takes over an enormous spectacular space with a soaring ceiling and a whole wall of iron-framed windows, expect frugal versions of Brennan’s beautifully cheesy Francophile comforts. Along with the usual bespoke roster of gourmet gooey mac ‘n cheeses, Comte beignets, and look for savory pies (croustades) and blistered French onion pizzas (pissaladieres) cooked in a wood-burning oven. Also an impressive list of artisanal beers, wines by the glass, and and even a mixologist to help keep things interesting.Bar Artisanal268 West Broadway (at Sixth Avenue), Tribeca
