NYC classic — Founded around 1962 by Murray Greenberg, a Ukrainian-Jewish immigrant, as a spinoff of an egg and dairy wholesaler in Greenwich Village. Robert Kaufelt bought the shop in 1991 and built it into the city's best-known cheesemonger, later expanding to Grand Central and hundreds of supermarket counters before Kroger acquired it in 2017.

  • Obvious easy answer: Murray's Cheese. The West Village location has some seating, wine, and the ability to get a cheese board for one.

    replying to u/CabassoG: Murray's in the Village has an excellent cheese and butter selection. There's a mini location near where you'll be at Grand Central Market but I'd recommend going to the original which has a much bigger selection (not sure also if the other location sells butter either.)

    This is the answer. I did this in October - bought 8 pounds of a butter I can’t get in my home country.

  • replying to u/114631: This is a recent [thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodNYC/comments/1go5f5l/are_there_any_restaurants_or_shops_that_sell_a/) that's worth looking at especially for your sit down charcuterie question, but you might want to take a look at these spots: * **Murray's** - pretty much the GOAT in NYC, everyone will say Murray's * **Eataly** - nice cheese, mostly Italian, but definitely not limited to Italian cheeses * **Bedford Cheese Shop** * **Astoria Bier and Cheese Collective** - also sit down for beer and cheese and meat boards * **Formaggio Kitchen** * **Wegman's** - actually has a fairly decent selection of nice meats and cheeses, though not as extensive as some of these other places

    GOAT of cheese haha🐐 🧀
