Liju GeorgeJuly 9, 2016Yes, the prices are ridiculous especially since you're in spitting distance of some of the best butchers in NYC that don't charge $18/lb for hanger steak, but they have great cuts and great butchers
Cute farmers market local produce store with meat, veggies, milk, cheese, eggs, coffee and more. Whole Foods prices $$$
Kiki JacksonMarch 6, 2018The best tasting, and freshest produce and meat in the neighborhood. It’s a little pricey, but time and time again the quality is well worth the price.
Amazing quality chicken, duck, lamb, pork, etc etc. Great selection of grains, beans, and seasonal local produce. Also, they sell Roberta's bread!
stylish kitchen tools line the 2 floors of brooklyn kitchen. make your heart content with stylish european + locally-crafted goods. and if that's not enough, sign up for one of their cooking classes.
Ebee DApril 6, 2015Ok, so far I've tried the fillet, sausages and cured ham. They're all incredibly good. Arguably the best. Haven't tried the chicken yet.
Their boneless skinless chicken breast is literally sweet. Their lunchmeat is all I'll eat and their house bacon is the best bacon I've ever tried
Bond StreetOctober 12, 2016"I recommend the aged porterhouse, the tomahawk ribeye, their whole aged strip loin, and anything lamb that they have on hand." - Kevin Kearney, managing partner - Alldayeveryday Read more
Shane VitriolJuly 8, 2013All the meat is pastured and local. You don't even have to ask. Vote with your wallet for better health and a greener planet. You can always get grass-fed ground beef for $6.99/lb.

Nicholas M.July 12, 2017Come for the meat, but don't forget The veggies. Especially during the fiddlehead morel ramp microseason
The bacon cheeseburger sausage is either way better than it sounds, or just as awesome as it sounds.
kat popielAugust 23, 2011Their freshly made sausages will make you never be able to purchase the packaged kind ever again - try their cheeseburger sausage!

Village VoiceNovember 3, 2010The Village Voice voted this Best Place to Get Down on the Farm (in the Middle of the City) in our Best Of New York Poll!
timoni westJuly 8, 2015I think there is literally nothing in the world you can do to make yourself feel better about how much $$$ you will spend here if you buy even a single jar of brooklyn-made salsa.
this is another place I love... getting the pork right after it comes in and they cut it fresh in front of me is something I love too- and the lamb merquez...
This place has an amazing selection of meat. So so good
Get a pound of the pastrami if you see any. It's so good you'll want to sleep with it.
Green chorizo mixed into burger meat and made into patties. Made me a legend in local BBQ lol
My go to for fresh cuts, bulk foods, and now Asian condiments!
Great selection of all natural meats. Unbelievable sausages. Best ground meat (full fat) I've ever had.
John RasoJanuary 18, 2010It's expensive but top quality. Compensate a bit for the cost by asking the butchers to prep the meat for you (e.g. pound out cutlets, butterfly a bird, skin a chicken, etc.)
