There are few things in this world better than cheese, and New Yorkers are pretty discerning when it comes to their favorite fromage.
Our friends at Yelp helped us put together a list of the best cheese shops in New York. The winner, Murray's Cheese, was so lauded by customers that Yelpers actually voted both shop locations in the top 10.
From a "stinky" cheese shop in Brooklyn to an East Village gem that delivers, here are the 10 best in New York.
#10 East Village Cheese
40 Third Avenue
East Village
Customers note how amazing the sales and specials are at EVC, but just the quality and value of the cheeses in general are worth a trip downtown to this place.
“A one-stop shop before a dinner party,” Yelp user Melissabeth K. says. “I especially love the goat cheese feta, dirt cheap wheels of brie, and imported pastas.”
Note: Yelp's search results are based on an algorithm that is designed to provide the best results based on a number of different factors including review text, ratings, and number of reviews. Because several factors are taken into account, this is why you may see a 3.5-star restaurant with 500 reviews showing above a 4-star one with 15 reviews.
#9 Buonitalia
75 Ninth Avenue
Chelsea/Meatpacking District
Buonitalia is easy to find when you walk into Chelsea Market. You can shop all things Italian by type of food—including a vast expanse of cheeses—or by region of Italy.
“This is mine and my husband’s favorite Italian store this side of Manhattan,” Jaimee A. writes. “They have Vacche Rosse parmigiana reggiano—the ultimate cheese experience.”

#8 Vintner Wine Market
671 Ninth Avenue
Hell's Kitchen/Midtown West/Theater District
Sure it’s a wine market, but what’s wine without cheese? Order up a number of artisanal or reserve cheeses that perfectly complement all their wines from the sweet to the dry.
“Amazing,” says Cynthia D. “ I'm not a big fan of cheese but I now have a newfound respect thanks to Vinter.”
