History
This little stretch of Bleecker Street has been home to our cheese shop for decades, but it wasn't until we opened Murray's Cheese Bar that we could host our friends and neighbors for brunch, lunch, and dinner. Or cheese anytime of day! Our menu boasts cheeses plucked right from our cheese caves. Come by for a cheese plate you'll fantasize about later, or enjoy our full menu full of cheesy delights and a whole lot more! Founded in 1940 by Murray Greenberg, Murray's Cheese is proud to be a Greenwich Village business and part of the neighborhood's rich food history. Owner Rob Kaufelt bought Murray's in the early '90s and transformed the downtown flagship store into a destination for food lovers. He filled the cheese case with rare finds from around the world, built cheese caves to age and ripen cheese, and hosted regular classes in our classroom. Murray's ships cheese and gifts nationwide at murrayscheese.com.
