Chuck the cardboard box. Macaroni has grown up. Located in a curvy elbow noodle shaped space in Soho NYC lunch time is on a whole new level. From the, umm basic? four Cheese: Queso Blanco, Fontina, Emmental and Gouda to Mac Lobsta, this macaroni isn’t kids stuff.
And with take-out containers shaped like giant tubes of pasta it is hard to resist running out with an order under your elbow.

The lining of these faithful reinterpretations of the famed peek-a-boo tie have their own secret agenda too, an artfully rendered pin up girl. Now Miss Feeney’s are making them new again. View the entire line here.
