Yes, 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

Natalie Hollier

Cute farmers market local produce store with meat, veggies , milk , cheese , eggs , coffee and more. Whole Foods prices $$$

Kiki Jackson

The 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.

Corinna P

Amazing quality chicken , duck , lamb , pork , etc etc. Great selection of grains, beans, and seasonal local produce . Also, they sell Roberta's bread !

Ok, 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

"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

All 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.

Get the bacon cheeseburger sausage

John Raso

It'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.)
