Murray's Cheese is stretching a massive mozzarella ball for National Cheese Day
Murray's Cheese has been Manhattan's most famed, vast, and varied dairy purveyor since first opening its doors decades ago. At its charming Bleecker Street shop, bustling Grand Central outpost, or Long Island City locale, you can consult expert cheese mongers and try samples of proprietary cave-aged varieties prepared right here in town. (This is Antoni Porowski's favorite cheese shop for a reason, people!)
And as one of the best cheese shops in New York City, Murray's has unsurprisingly made monumental plans for National Cheese Day. On Wednesday June 4, Chef Clare Malfitano will build the biggest ball of mozzarella in Manhattan for onlookers to see and, more importantly, taste! Expect a truly one-of-a-kind performance from inside a giant translucent bowl as she stretches and forms a massive, 80-pound ball by hand.
Fromage festivities begin at 4pm, running until 7pm, or when the giant curd sculpture has been consumed. To prepare for this wild undertaking, Chef Malfitano trained with 25-pound balls of mozzarella and equipped new gadgetry for the epic task. She will hand cut 90 pounds of curd to later salt and bathe, then stretch using a giant paddle. With the help of additional cheese mongers, Malfitano will pull and shape the monstrous mozzarella into a luscious cloud of cheese. Once cooled in an ice bath, the enormous fresh cow's milk creation will be ready for slicing and snacking.
"This mozzarella is tried and true, a lightly salted favorite that people love in summertime on salads, pastas, and more," a Murray's representative told Time Out. "Since it's such a go-to summer cheese, we thought it was the perfect celebratory choice for National Cheese Day."
Attendees can take advantage of a 15-percent off sale — plus a free ball of mozzarella with a $25 purchase — at the Bleecker St and Grand Central shops on June 4. During the Greenwich Village event, local purveyors will also hand out samples, including Mike's Hot Honey, Finback Brewing, Talea Beer, and Schaller & Weber.

Andy Murray beams at heartwarming gift from major golf brand for his birthday as he focuses on career change
He recently split from his coaching partnership with Novak Djokovic - but this gift will pick him up! PERSONAL TOUCH Andy Murray beams at heartwarming gift from major golf brand for his birthday as he focuses on career change Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FEW would have predicted Sir Andy Murray going from tennis legend to celebrity golfer when he retired from his first love. The Wimbledon hero hung up his racquet after competing at the Olympics last summer and quickly picked up the golf clubs instead. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Sir Andy Murray was coaching Novak Djokovic for the first half of the year Credit: AFP 3 But he's been focusing on golf of late - and has new clubs to show for it Credit: CALLAWAY Murray was a keen golfer in his youth but ultimately chose to focus on tennis when it became clear he had a God-given talent on the court. But almost as soon as he announced his retirement, the Scot revealed one of his main goals was to become a scratch golfer. Major golf brand Callaway rushed to sponsor him after he took up the sport again, joining him on his mission to cut his handicap. He competed in a Pro-Am event in September where he showed off his skills and since then has continued to hone his game. The three-time Grand Slam winner is now down to a handicap of 1.9 - and remains just as competitive on the golf course as he was on the tennis court. He was seen celebrating as eagle putt in the same manner as he did his wins at Wimbledon, in an appearance on the Fore Brothers YouTube channel alongside his fellow tennis icon and double Wimbledon winner, Jamie. And on the day of his birthday, Murray was given a special gift from Callaway. Murray turned 38 today and as a present, Callaway had a bespoke set of wedges created for them. They had a heartwarming personal touch included on the clubheads - the names of his four children. Murray was presented with three new wedges, one with Sophia engraved on it, another with Edie on it and the third bears the names of Lola and Teddie. Moment Andy Murray holes stunning putt from off the green in challenge match with brother Jamie - but rivals have last laugh Callway shared a picture of the clubs and of Murray unboxing them on their Instagram account, the sporting legend showing his appreciation. They captioned the post: "It's a pretty special feeling when you unwrap a new set of wedges, especially on your birthday! "Have a good one Andy!" Murray re-shared the post, proudly displaying his children's names on the clubs, along with a love heart emoji. 3 The personalised clubs gifted to Murray by Callaway Credit: CALLAWAY Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
