Murray’s Cheese Shop
“We tasted 7 cheeses which were served with champagne, red wine, and beer as well as nuts and dried fruits.”
“Every cheese imaginable and now with the larger space there is so much more – pastas, oils, sauces, spreads, meats, dips, olives.”
“The fresh pasta is also to die for, as are the pre-made appetizers (everything is made in the kitchen onsite!).”

I came here to attend a class called American Artisan Cheese 101 with Connor as our instructor. He is a superb instructor – very knowledgeable about the cheeses presented, and was also very informative; it truly was a Cheese 101 class – I left the class with tons of new knowledge on how cheese is made, the amount of care invested into making cheese, and just a renewed respect for cheese itself.
As the name suggests, our cheese palate consisted of only American cheeses, about 6 different types, which equated to about half a pound total tasted (now that's a lot of cheese!). Now I am definitely not a cheese connoisseur, but this class really made me feel like one! We were asked to break open each of the cheeses, smell it, feel it, describe the taste – it was awesome and I really appreciated that Connor was so proactive in getting us to participate. We were also given a glass of red wine and rose (with unlimited refills by the way, AHEM), and a bunch of other foods to nibble on like bread, nuts, and dried fruits. Great complements to the cheeses!
The class was an hour and a half long and with a group of about 25 people – very chill and laid back, and very ideal for date night. I am extremely satisfied with the class and would love to check out some of the other different cheese classes! Just wanted to note that these classes don't come cheap, so perhaps I won't be returning for a while!
If you want a real new York experience this place needs to be on your list!
the guy who helped me with the cheeses was on point with every recommendation…. it's one of thoes shops where you can't walk out empty handed… what I liked in particular about this place is that they let you "try the cheeses" before you buy them, without pressuring you, or making you feel uncomfortable! and they have some really unique cheeses to choose from.
Every cheese that I wanted. Delicious ones from every region in France! I was particularly looking for a sheep chess from the French Pyrenees and the pointed me to a perfect one that goes with Jurançon wine. Lucky NYC!
Lovely place to grab a cheese plate and a bottle of wine with a friend or significant other. It may feel a bit on the pricier side, but cheese plates usually are, and the variety and quantity you'll get here is worth it.
This place can't get any better. You can buy boat-loads of cheese or just a little sliver of cheese. I go with the latter. I usually come here for their pre-packaged/weighed/wrapped cheeses when I need to throw a quick cheese plate together – there are an assortment of crackers (you name it, they have it!) and dried fruit and nuts all for a reasonable price if you ask me.
There's also a soup and sandwich sort of station which I've never tried, but according to other review, I'm really missing out. I did, however, bring home two single serving (maybe?) sized trays of mac and cheese. I got classic and sundried tomato/mushroom. I have to say, I don't think the classic is that big of a deal, but the tomato and mushroom mac and cheese was out of this world! It made for a great side dish at dinner.
I look forward to trying more prepared foods from Murrays.
What a fantastic store! They have literally dozens of types of cheeses. There is fresh bread. There are sandwiches. There is an antipasto bar. There are meats. It has everything. Prices are not cheap but quality is high so you get your money's worth. We tried the Gouda and white cheddar and loved them. I wish we had this store where we live!
AMAZING cheese shop in the West Village! Staff are all super friendly and offer you any type of cheese you want before you actually buy. I went in knowing that I wanted an aged goat gouda and the staff member who helped me was spot on with her recommendation. I ended up taking home a generous quarter pound of one year aged gouda (personal indulgence for the next few days) for only $5, so prices are also super reasonable. It seems like there are also some prepared foods, lox etc. that you can get in addition to satisfying your cheese cravings.
If you're going for cheese remember to take a number when you get into the store!
I could not stop eating Murray's cheese at the Capitalism for the Soul event last night put on by Kim Ann Curtin!! This is absolutely amazing cheese, the best I've ever had in NYC. And spot on with the honey, fresh breads and Strawberry spread!! Thank you so much for making my taste buds jump all night with flavor!!
