Probably the only butcher shop I will ever use in my life. If I ever leave New York, I will have to pay extra for refrigerated FedEx air-delivery or something, because I really don't think I'll be able to find better quality products anywhere.
Seriously, it is dangerous to my waistline and LDL levels that I live so close to this place,. Every time I walk in, it takes all my will power not to buy everything in sight and start munching on it right then and there. I primarily come for their INCREDIBLE, PRIME steaks when I need to prepare something special. Believe me, even if they do not tell you they sell prime meat, you'd be able to tell the difference, just on sight. The steaks I buy are always a deep, vibrant, fresh, red color, with abundant marbling. The first time I cooked steaks from here, my family could not shut up about how wonderful the flavor was, after waking up from their food comas, that is.
We are not a big fan of cold cuts at home, so I have never purchased any from them, but they do offer many quality products at very attractive prices. They advertise a few cold cut packages, which includes a variety of sliced cheese and meats, enough to feed a family of four for DAYS, at prices I really cannot believe. We have tried their incredible heroes once or twice. Let me tell you... one sandwich is enough to cover two meals for one person. They REALLY cram the bread full of goodies, and drizzle it with delicious olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
The endless trays of antipasti, prosciutto balls, prepared vegetables, broccoli rabe, pinwheels, chicken cutlets... my lord! The list goes on and on. I have not yet tried anything besides their green beans almondine (which were amazing!) but, am looking forward to my next trip to try more of their goodies!
Besides the quality products, they have an incredible, warm staff. Honestly, it just brightens my day when I step into this store. The staff is welcoming, very experienced, and very knowledgeable. They love their jobs, they love feeding people and making them happy. They are happy to answer any questions you have, and offer any advice in selecting and preparing your meal. They are happy to take orders in advance over the phone, and are always kind and courteous. Just today, I pre-ordered a center cut tenderloin to be picked up the day before Thanksgiving. They are trimming it and tying it up, at no extra charge. I'm actually afraid to post the price quote they gave me for this gorgeous piece of meat, because I'm sure people will think I'm lying about how little it will cost me!!
Guys, really, thank you, for making me and my family so happy. =)
