    Murray's in the Village has an excellent cheese and butter selection.

    Murray's Cheese is *the* place for cheese and butter.

  • 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🐐 🧀

    they're about as high end as mac & cheese gets. Lots of options for different cheeses and toppings, gluten-free base if you want, etc.

  • Hands down Murray’s Mac and cheese! I love the French onion Mac and cheese and I also had a fantastic sharp cheddar butternut squash mac once.

  • I did one for my birthday with my best friend and loved it! So fun and the cheese/wine selections were interesting and great

Or you can just buy a shit load, a bottle of wine, and go pig out in your hotel room. No matter what, go there, she'll be happy as a pig in a cheese shop (I'm not trying to say your GF is a pig, I just wanted a silly turn on the normal phrase...). [This thread from last week](https://www.reddit.com/r/FoodNYC/comments/1go5f5l/are_there_any_restaurants_or_shops_that_sell_a/) has a lot of good suggestions. But I feel like there's probably a better answer out there for "Fuckit, let's make her happy, here is a ridiculous spread and some great booze", sadly I don't have a great answer. Some good bar has to have a banging shark coochy board (disclaimer before someone else says it: charcuterie is cured/preserved meats, a board with that and cheese is not technically a charcuterie board, but fuck anyone that tries to gatekeep that shit). Another option would be a good French restaurant where you can finish a romantic meal w/ cheese. Near Murray's you could look at Minetta Tavern, La Sirene, Buvette and probably a few more.

    Murray's Cheese also does amazing wine and cheese classes (short and sweet usually during happy hour) and then you can go shopping in the store after!

  • I had THE BEST GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH at “Murray’s Cheese” in Greenwich Village. I still can’t get rid of that taste

  • Yes, I've done one and it was very fun! I wouldn't expect a full meal's worth of food, but they were very generous with the wine and the group was great and very friendly

    I could easily consume 10k calories from there in a day, just filled with awesomeness.

    Murray’s was bought by Kroger or some conglimeratw and is far less interesting these days

    Murray’s is the obvious answer, and it is also the right answer.
