Buying Short Ribs in Manhattan

[petuniafromhell]

I can usually get short ribs in my Pelham Bay Park grocery store, but they are the small square ones with one piece of bone and almos no meat. Not sure of short rib names but i'm looking for the long strips, off the bone, the kind you slice after you braise. Any suggestions of where i can get these in Manhattan?

I have gotten meaty short rib at Florence Meat Market @ 5 Jones Street in the West Village. I wanted the bone-in but they will cut the meat to your specifications.

Be Smart. Do what the chefs do. Save the crowds, shop Union Square on Wednesday. Same great farm fresh meats, fruits and veggies.

There are several beef farmers at the Union Square Greenmarket on Saturday who have wonderful meat, and all have at least some short ribs. On the bone. Y ou can easily take them off after you cook them. There is SO much MORE flavor when the meat is cooked on the bone.

I just braised some short ribs from NY Beef company and man were they spectacular. The grass fed short ribs are far more flavorful and 'beefier' than their corn fed counterparts. Have a look at what's available and see what works best. If you can go early on Friday, Grazin Angus often has them as well but they sell out early.
Enjoy!

What about your local butcher? These local experts should always be the route to go when you have special meat requests. Who would you trust more - they guy who's been cutting up meat for this entire life and serving the community or some grocery chain that turns over their meat department staff as quickly as their hamburger meat? And your local butcher probably has better product too! Enjoy!

Ottomanelli's in the village has generally excellent meat. Fairway is OK. If you get out of the city, check out Stew Leonard's for above average supermarket meat. I often get excellent meat from my local Jubilee Market believe it or not.

I buy 'em at Ottomanelli in W Village. Meaty, tasty and they come in long sizes and they will cut 'em for you any which way you like.
