Bedford Cheese Shop

Union Square, Flatiron District & Gramercy


Whether you’re after local, raw-cow’s-milk cheese washed in absinthe, or garlic-infused goat’s-milk cheese from Australia, chances are you’ll find it among the 200-strong selection at this outpost of Brooklyn’s most-celebrated cheese vendor. Pair the cheesy goodness with artisanal charcuterie, deli treats and ready-to-eat sandwiches ($9 to $11.50), as well as a proud array of Made-in-Brooklyn edibles.

The shop runs regular on-site classes, from wine-and-cheese pairings to making your own mozzarella. Check the website.
