One of Concord\u2019s celebrated establishments, a perennial \u201cBest of Boston,\u201d not to be missed by any visitor to the town center, has lured foodies down Walden Street since 1967. Its current (and third) proprietor, Peter Lovis, has been serving out samples of the 150-200 varieties of domestic and international cheeses since 1976. You will never buy a cheese there that you can\u2019t taste first! But cheese is not the only food for sale at the Cheese Shop. There\u2019s a vast and excellent (including some bargain specials) selection of wines; there are many gourmet items including chocolates, pastries, spices, olive oils, holiday treats, nuts, pickles, jams, and more. The Cheese Shop Deli is famous for its chicken salad, for carrying \u201cFamous Phil\u2019s Subs,\u201d for its terrific charcuterie, coffees, and its many fabulous freshly made preparations. Besides its warmth, the overwhelming attribute of the Cheese Shop is its internationalism: indeed, at one count the shop\u2019s offerings represented 80 different countries!<\/p>\n

NOT TO BE MISSED AT THE CHEESE SHOP: \u00a0Make a note to spend December 1st in Concord <\/strong>so you can be present at the Cheese Shop’s Cheese Parade. \u00a0A 400 pound wheel of cheese is rolled down the red carpet with music and rose petals. \u00a0Be there for this fun event! \u00a0Missed this year? \u00a0Mark your calendars and make your reservations at one of the Bettina Network homes in Concord<\/strong> to be present at next years Cheese Shop’s Cheese Parade.<\/p>\n

A special feature offered by the Cheese Shop deli is their \u201cFriday night supper\u201d menu. $75 brings home a three course gourmet dinner for two, including a baguette and a bottle of wine. All you have to do is heat up the entree; often as not you\u2019ll have enough for lunch on Saturday, too. Many Concord couples make this a monthly treat, but a \u201cFriday night supper\u201d could also be ideal for those taking advantage of ‘eating dinner in’ at the Bettina Network Bed and Breakfast where they are staying. The hosts are always happy to lend the service of their oven or microwave. Just remember that the meals are not offered during the holiday season, which is an extra busy time for the Cheese Shop.<\/p>\n

In short, any visitor to Concord would enjoy doing what concordians do: take a stroll down Walden Street for a taste trip around the world. As Peter Levis says, \u201cdon\u2019t come in a rush!\u201d<\/p>\n
