I need my fresh mozzarella

Does anyone have any info on when A & S Pork store will reopen in their new space. I went back a month looking for any posts. Thanks.

    Russo's on 7th (b/t 10th & 11th) also has good mozzarella, if you're tired of waiting.

        Related, I used to buy fresh lasagna pasta sheets, fresh ricotta, and fresh mozzarella from Fratelli. Can anyone direct me somewhere nearby to get similar things? I don't have a car, so it has to be local. Thanks!

          Not sure when it will re-open. I walked by there on Monday, and they were still fixing the place up. It does have a slightly new name though--it's now M&S Prime Meats.

          I do miss their mozzarella. I can't find anything else good in the neighborhood.

            Whenever I think fresh mozzarella, I think of Tony's Beechhurst Deli. Just thought I'd share.

              M & S Prime Meats is open now. The place is much bigger, so it looks a little empty inside. (I miss the jam-packed charm of the old location.) BUT the food seems to be as good as ever. I had to buy some prosciutto, roasted red peppers, marinated artichokes for an antipasto today, and they were all fine. Alas, by the time I went at 4:00 p.m., they had sold out of fresh mozzarella.

              somewhat closer to you, Caputo's on Court Street has great mozzarella (and scamorza)

                Lioni blows all those others away.

                  I love Caputo's for just about everything except their mozzarella. I find it to be rubbery.

                    I think it will be on Fifth Ave., between 1st and 2nd Streets (where Pure Energy martial arts school used to be).

                    don't have info on a&s pork store reopening but for the best creamiest, fresh mozzarella around try Lioni Latticini at 78th st & 15th ave or Frank & Sal's salumeria on 80th st & 18th ave.
