Pancetta source near Penn Station?

[kenito799]

Yes, I commute on LIRR and I cook dinner...so minimizing my commuting minutes is always a struggle. I come from Brooklyn on the D, so I know I can stop at W 4th and go to Murray's, then back on to Penn, but does anyone know of a decent place to buy pancetta near Penn Station (preferably near 6th or 7th Aves)? I try to avoid exploring that grim area, horrible in every way except for the good Korean food.

I am not sure if they have Pancetta (they most likely do) but Biricchino on 8th ave and 29th (i think) has great Guanciale that can usually be used instead of Pancetta

Birricchino is actually the restaurant of Salumeria Biellese, which is next door, and they sell pancetta:

Salumeria Biellese has been there for a million years, and they're great. It's worth a walk West of the OP's requirements, but definitely worth it.
