Following an outpour of community Support, Cheese of the World reconsiders sale of business

Aug. 6, 2017 Staff Report

Cheese of the World, which was listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service of Long Island last week, is no longer for sale.

The owner has reconsidered selling after dozens of residents flooded the shop over the weekend worried that it might be closing.

“The shop had to close early on Saturday because there were simply too many people for them to handle,” one source said.

Although screenshots reveal that the listing was in fact published on MLS servers, the listing was removed over the weekend.

Cheese of the World has been open on the well known strip of Forest Hills for over 65 years, and carries over a hundred types of cheeses, cured meats and other gourmet items.

If the owner is going to take the risk of remaining in business, then we will do our part to steer our business toward his store. I have shopped a few times at Cheese World before, mostly for holidays or special occasions and always love their selections of cheeses, deli salads, breads, and other delicacies. We will make it a point to patronize his business for more day-to-day purchases.

I’m very happy to know that they won’t be closing.This was the only store of its kind after The Homestead closed on Austin St. When my oldest daughter was around 3 yrs. Old we always shopped in here. The original owner always took care of us. My daughter only ate Gouda cheese, he always sliced it very thin for her. This is what a neighborhood store is like, they take care of their customers and make sure that you are happy with the service.

Op-ed | New York’s ground lease co-ops: Our families can’t wait any longer 

Jan. 14, 2025 By Michael Tang 

Last December brought a long-awaited victory for New York City. Our City Council adopted the historic City of Yes housing plan, paving the way for more than 80,000 new homes by 2040 with the promise of affordability. As a longtime resident of Flushing, Queens, I naturally welcomed the news – it’s a much-needed reprieve for New Yorkers as housing costs continue to soar in the midst of an unparalleled housing crisis. But entering 2025 on the heels of this win, we residents at  Murray Hill Cooperative remain at risk — our lives are virtually unchanged because we belong to the last class of unprotected “tenants” as ground lease co-op residents. Without legislative action, more than 25,000 New Yorkers face the threat of losing their homes — homes that we own — to landowners seeking to raise our ground rent to astronomical rates.
