I finally went to Murray's Cheese in Greenwich Village. It is New York's most famous cheese shop. It turns out that they also have other gourmet foods there so it was a very fun food shopping trip indeed. H controlled my desire to splurge on unnecessaties (mais non!) like sea salted capers and white truffle oil but he couldn't stop me from buying a few different cheeses, a bamboo cheese board, a cheese knife and some sheets of a specially waxed paper that keeps cheese really fresh.

I don't know when the stretch of Bleecker Street between Leroy and Morton turned into a mini Chelsea Market, but I imagine that the transformation occurred this fall. In November, Murray's Cheese, having bought a large building, moved across the street and soon started renting space to Amy's Bread and Wild Edibles. Now, a shopper needs several hours to fully absorb the cornucopia of deliciousness that is Bleecker Street.

Murrays has finally opened on Bleeker Street! I have been walking by every day trying to peek in between the brown papered windows. But, today it was opened. They were not open for business, just for browsing. They bonus is the delightful little tidbits they were giving out. Rolls of proscuitto with chunks of parm, onion/gruyere tarts (small pieces), 3 cheese macaroni, tomato proscuitto cheese olive tarts (small pieces) and brownie cheesecakes pieces. All yum!
