& Sons Ham Bar

"This ham bar in PLG recently started taking pick-up orders for charcuterie, cheese, and pantry items. It’s called & Sons Buttery, and you can see their full menu here. (They’re hoping to start delivery service soon, and you can keep an eye on their Instagram for updates)." - hannah albertine

"Newsom’s Country Ham from Kentucky March 5th “I’ll never forget the dinner Nikko and I had at & Sons in Prospect Lefferts Gardens back in March - mostly because it was entirely made up of ham and wine produced in the U.S. And because it was one of the last exciting restaurant meals I ate inside before the shutdown. Nikko and I stayed at & Sons for about three hours, picking at plates of aged ham from Kentucky and Tennessee, eventually asking for a second portion of cornbread madeleines. I remember the ham from Kentucky in particular, since it was sturdy enough to construct a tube top out of, and didn’t need any additional accouterments. I haven’t had such special pork since then.” -Hannah Albertine, Staff Writer" - hannah albertine, nikko duren, hillary reinsberg, arden shore, matt tervooren

"The Brekkie Sando The “Brekkie Sando” from & Sons is a sandwich that you’ll want to take your time with. This spot in Prospect Lefferts Garden moonlights as a ham and wine bar, so they know how to make magic with meat products. But we also appreciate the pillowy bread, which made us wonder why every sandwich isn’t served on a toasted milk bun. Since it’s only served on weekends, we recommend you pick one up on a Sunday afternoon, play some jazz, and savor every moment of the smoked sausage, thick egg patty, cheese custard, and tomato relish inside." - Willa Moore, Neha Talreja, Carlo Mantuano, Carina Finn Koeppicus

"& Sons and Vyne Yard share the same owner. The difference here is that you can buy ham with your wine (since this place is first and foremost a Ham Bar). There’s a wide selection of bottles to choose from, all of which are produced in the United States." - hannah albertine, nikko duren

"& Sons Ham Bar and Buttery, a restaurant and shop specializing in domestic cured meats and cheeses; a wine store called VyneYard (Mack has his own label); and a bakery called Chickadee Bread." - Hannah Goldfield
