If all you require for sustenance in life are strong pongs and a sensational array of cheese\u00a0varieties, there\u2019s no shortage of establishments in New York City to accommodate your\u00a0dairy-lust.\u00a0Here\u2019s a selection of some great places to go get a cheese fix.<\/p>\n

Murray\u2019s Cheese<\/strong>
\n254 Bleeker St<\/em>
\nIf you\u2019re a turophile who has lived in the West Village<\/a> for a while, then you undoubtedly already know about Murray\u2019s- a cheese shop founded in 1940. Current owner Rob Kaufelt has such a passion for all things cheese that he\u2019s traveled the globe finding new and delicious types to bring home to us. And it\u2019s not just New Yorkers visiting this store (or Murray\u2019s Grand Central market) that can take advantage of Kaufelt\u2019s passion now. Murray\u2019s website takes orders, will cater for parties and these exceptional cheeses are now distributed to supermarkets all over the country.<\/p>\n

Earl\u2019s Beer & Cheese
\n<\/strong>1259 Park Ave
\n<\/em>If the apocalypse happened tomorrow, what would you want to be stuffing your face\u00a0with as the world ended? For Earl, it\u2019s cheese and craft beer all the way, baby \u2013 or as the\u00a0Earl\u2019s website puts it: \u201cCHEESEBEEROCALYPSE\u201d (which is probably why beer cheese\u00a0is an actual type of cheese on the menu here sometimes). Like the East Harlem venue\u00a0for this bar and snack house, the menu is small but quirky. If you want a large array of\u00a0options, this cheese shop on Park Avenue<\/a> isn\u2019t for you. But, as far as we\u2019re concerned, when everything on offer is this exquisite and well thought out, it doesn\u2019t matter that meal choices are somewhat limited.<\/p>\n

East Village Cheese<\/strong>
\n40 3rd Ave<\/em>
\nIt may not be the best known \u2018monger in town, but East Village Cheese is certainly\u00a0the cheapest. You can find real bargains in here every day, on a wide selection (even\u00a0imports), to the degree that it is often cheaper than a lot of supermarkets\u2019 dairy aisles.\u00a0E.V.C. is also fantastic for providing everything you could possibly need to go with all\u00a0that delicious cheese \u2013 pasta, crackers, fresh olives, jam, you name it. This place is a lot\u00a0more functional than fancy, but with these prices, who cares?<\/p>\n

ABC Beer Co<\/strong>
\n96 Ave C<\/em>
\nSure, the name makes it sound like ABC Beer Co. is simply a beer bar. But if\u00a0you can\u2019t bring yourself to even go drinking without the promise of cheesy goodness on\u00a0the side, this is the place for you. The beer selections are fantastic, sure, but the cheese\u00a0boards alone are enough incentive to trek outside your luxury no-fee rental apartment<\/a>. With a back patio perfect for summer afternoons and a very friendly batch of staff and regulars, ABC Beer Co. is the ideal drinking hole for cheese-enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

Saxelby Cheesemongers<\/strong>
\nEssex Street Market – 120 Essex St<\/em>
\nVisiting Saxelby is like wandering into a legit farm store. You half expect there to be\u00a0a cow hiding in the back, wearing a neckerchief and stocking shelves. This tiny store\u00a0can get over-crowded very easily, but the passionate people working here provide\u00a0enthusiastic and highly knowledgeable service, if you\u2019re willing to wait. (Tip: you should\u00a0definitely wait \u2013 Anne Saxelby is bringing style back to American cheese.)<\/p>\n
