Winning Cheese Samples At Murray’s

Murray’s on Bleecker street is probably the most known (and perhaps the oldest surviving) cheese shop in NYC. It’s not an unusual sight to see bunch of tourist hanging outside the shop almost every afternoon lead by a guide explaining the significance of the shop. I’d even heard that they import fresh specialized cheeses from different countries every day. Well it just happens for today only between 6:30 to 8 PM you can sample the winning cheeses from the American Cheese Society’s 2005 competition. Check it out at Murray’s Cheese, 254 Bleecker Street. $50/person (212.243.3289, ext. 25).
