Murray’s Cheese U.
254 Bleecker St., at Cornelia St. 212-243-3289
A few hours of sipping wine and deciphering the difference between a stinky rind and a bloomy curd is just not enough. Recently, the mongers at Murray’s launched a cheese college complete with exams and a graduation certificate—if you pass. Targeted at the budding fromage freak, Cheese U. offers a weekend boot camp ($495) that immerses students in five intensive seminars including the history of milk, a cheesemaking demonstration, pairing with wine and beer, and the flavors of more than 30 cheeses. If one weekend is not enough, for $795 you can get an even more comprehensive, six-week course. Either way, Velveeta is not on the list.

Our mission this year: to hunt down not just the best but the best values in the eating, shopping, drinking, and general-consuming universe of New York. It’s quite the process, this, requiring eating and shopping and drinking (all in the name of research), followed by heated but civil discussion, and heated but less-civil discussion, until a winner emerges in each category.
