In the meantime I've compiled a short list of cheese shops with a little help from friends and family.
My husband's son and our computer expert, Zach, recommended his two favorites, Murray's Cheese in New York's Greenwich Village and DiBruno Brothers in Philadelphia.
I had completely forgotten until today, but I've been to Murray's Cheese in New York. A great shop!

Kate (who I've known since 3rd grade!) wrote me from her current home on gorgeous Whidbey Island, Washington. Her search for prosciutto led her to Bayleaf, a duo of shops on the island that sell artisan cheese, wine and imported food. She's always had a great sense of humor and her blog, Coupeville Chronicles, is Kate through and through!
