The Best Butcher Shops in New York City
New York's butcher counters are as varied as its neighborhoods - Williamsburg whole-animal shops and Cobble Hill family institutions in Brooklyn, a 1937 German market in Yorkville, a NoHo Wagyu specialist, a West Village grass-fed shop, and a Chelsea Market counter working straight with Northeast farms. These are the city's craft butchers worth crossing a borough for.
