"Neighborhood pub Nepo 42’s mac and cheese has great crunch, sweetness, and smokiness, with spinach, bacon, and sun-dried peppers adding extra color and texture. The base sauce uses a sharp white cheddar, counterbalanced by a salty feta added on top, and the noodle — cavatappi — was a smart choice: Its curls trap cheese and veggies for ideal bites throughout. At $9 for happy hour, it can’t be beat."
