About Murray's Cheese

Tucked into the heart of Greenwich Village on Bleecker Street, Murray's Cheese is a legendary New York institution that has been a mecca for fromage lovers since 1940. What began as a simple butter-and-egg shop has evolved into one of the country’s most revered cheese shops, offering an unparalleled selection of over 250 artisanal cheeses from around the world. Walk through its doors and you're greeted by the pungent, earthy aroma of aged wheels, stacked high in wooden bins and glass cases. Beyond the retail space, Murray's boasts a subterranean cheese cave for aging, a robust sandwich counter serving their famous grilled cheese, and classes that turn novices into connoisseurs. More than a store, it’s a cornerstone of New York’s food culture—a place where cheesemongers treat every wedge as a story worth sharing.
