The best selection of cheese in NY with a great staff to help you. -Ed Cotton, Top Chef

Caroline Schulweis

Take one of the wine and cheese classes (book on website ahead of time)! They'll walk you through wine and cheese pairings with a wine expert and a cheese expert. It's a great date night activity.

Jess Williams

Unique pantry finds, from spicy honey and artisanal olive oil to local blueberry preserves and handmade pasta . Perfect pairings for all that cheese .

One of if not THE best cheese joint(s) in the city . Modestly priced if undersized sandwiches . Great selection of interesting take home cheeses and meats and other provisions. Here’s ham and cheese

It doesn’t get much better than this, people. The Classic Melt, with a secret blend of Murray’s homemade cheeses , is a revelation—plain and simple. Read more

Jess Williams

Breakfast melt for the win! English muffin + fried egg + thick bacon + (obviously) melted cheese . Doesn't look appetizing , but delicious for $6 & free cup of coffee .

Annie

The cheese mongers are very knowledgeable . They can suggest alternative cheeses to what you like in general. If you can take a class !

Julie Soscia

One of few locations, probably the most famous and oldest cheese shop in NYC . Grab some to go because you'll definitely want to bring lots home to munch on.

Beakira Lea

To be honest it's been a while since we got down here! But when we did its the best grilled cheese (unlike another reviewer America) I'm going to say the best grilled cheese in the world.

Stephanie Berry Sklut

This is the best of NY. Education along with service and the taste! People elsewhere may gasp but it's the best $50.00 you will ever spend on gourmet food, if you can keep it that low!

Jessica Wickham

So much choice, don’t be scared to ask the lovely cheese people for a recommendation, you can taste test and tell them exactly how much you want to spend. Their tasting nights are also incredible!
