Florence Meat Market
5 Jones St, NYC
(between 4th and Bleecker,
easy access to PATH)

Only a few years ago, I was paying $13/lb for dry-aged prime rib eye, carved from the whole rib section while I waited. Prices have gone up, but they still have good cuts in that price range.

I generally don't buy steaks these days anymore due to cost, but I can find a decent cut for under $10 from Moloney's or Shoprite. Also pink slime is in ground beef, not whole cuts, but thanks for the effort, brahski.

And as noted, paying that much for chicken, bacon, etc. is simply not worth it, no matter how uber grass fed free range organic whatever you want to slap on it.

Again, it's tempting, but considering how little red meat I eat to begin with plus the prices, it's just not worthwhile for me. Honestly, I don't think it is for anyone given that any savings you have on the nice steaks are lost with the cheaper ones.

I think you are missing the point... $12/lb for chicken is way too high, as it is for brisket, ground beef and bacon. So. While the $12/lb for steak sounds good, the middle and bottom tiers seem to be grossly over priced. Or, do you seriously believe that chicken legs and thighs are a good value at $12/lb??

That's tempting, but I can't justify $12/lb on any steaks, much less chicken and bacon

This is a re-post from jerseycityeats. Wanted to post it here as there are limited options for quality protein downtown. Carrino has some decent cuts but are pricey. Moloney's is a little out of the way for some.

It seems like this farm is willing to do a drop off downtown but needs folks to sign up.


"To arrange a CSA pick-up in Jersey City, the farm needs a group of at least 20 people to enroll. There have apparently been a couple of other inquiries into setting this up, but as of yet, nothing has come of it. The best way to express interest is to fill out the enrollment form and email it back to Julie at csa@herondalefarms.com. There is a ton of information about the CSA and how it works on the enrollment form if you'd like more details."
