"A new H Street hangout for seasoned cheese enthusiasts (and the cheese curious) debuts on Thursday, February 23. Paste & Rind (904 H Street NE) is the first brick-and-mortar home for Kara McGrath’s locally-sourced cheese company of the same name that got its start during the pandemic. Paste & Rind settles into the long-vacant space formerly held by Dio Wine Bar, which was one of D.C.’s first COVID-related closures back in June 2020. The sliver of a space, with seating 24, serves as a cheese counter and accoutrement shop, as well as a sit-down area serving cheese slates, charcuterie, and wine pairings." - Emily Wishingrad
