Humanely raised meats, rotisserie chicken, hot dogs & sandwiches


























"This grass fed and sustainable meat market has spun off an eatery in the basement that’s also a butcher shop, with all sorts of hamburgers, roasts, hot dogs, fries, and hot sandwiches for sale. Or get a baguette and dive into a thick slice of pate, available at a separate counter. The seating is summer camp style, and it’s a great place to meet friends for a bite." - Robert Sietsema


"For connoisseurs of Oktoberfest fare, Dickson’s — the butcher in Chelsea Market — is throwing a one-day celebration in its basement bistro that runs from 8 p.m. till midnight on Friday, September 27. Six local brewers will be represented, delivering their takes on the holiday’s celebratory suds. Notably good sausages and meat products of the butcher will be available. There will be a brass band followed by a German disco. Reservations here." - Robert Sietsema


"This boutique butcher in Chelsea Market puts its hot dogs right in the window, with two sizes available. We recommend the Big Fred, the larger of the two, even though it qualifies as one of the more expensive in town. The garlicky tang of the stuffing mixed with the pungent raw onions and sharp grainy mustard really puts the thing across." - Robert Sietsema

"I had high hopes for the BBQ brisket at Dickson’s Farmstand Meats in Chelsea Market, but the sliced meat had been reheated on a griddle, which destroyed any barbecued texture and flavor and left the wobbly fat an unappetizing battleship‑gray; it was further ruined by being smothered in a bad barbecue sauce." - Robert Sietsema
