Butcher in Brooklyn
Looking for a butcher somewhere from Park Slope up to Prospect Heights, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill, and into Bed Stuy. On a map, I'm seeing Dan Jose Meat Market in PS and Meat Market on Fulton, but no reviews.

Ottomanelli's in the West Village is the best butcher in town. If you are going to travel, the quality of the meat and the reasonable prices are worth a 30 minute ride on the C.
Otherwise I would say that Los Paesanos is a good choice, but super-expensive.

Second to M&S Pork Store (formerly A&S Pork Store a few blocks closer to Flatbush.) I find them a little better than United Meat Market, but they are quite good as well.
Not necessarily in the areas mentioned, but I'll also mention that I love the butcher at Fairway in Red Hook. High quality, good selection and every week that have a great loss-leader deal. Sometimes its Prime Porterhouse for $6.99 a pound, sometimes its whole beef tenderloin for $5.99 a pound which they will clean and cut into steaks or a roast. Also, there is one gruff guy who I absolutely love.

I would not recommend M&S, which is actually a few blocks farther away from Flatbush than A&S which was far superior in my opinion. At the end of the day, M&S simply doesn't do enough business to keep a wide variety of fresh meats in stock like Paisanos. I live closer to M&S than Paisanos and regularly drive past M&S to go to Paisanos because I got tired of going in there and being told that they don't have oxtail or quail or pork belly or duck etc...

The Meat Hook at The Brooklyn Kitchen is great.
Lorimer Market for an Italian butcher.There are a number of really good Polish butchers in Greenpoint if you want that style of pork product.

Both Staubitz and Los Paisanos are very good and in Cobble Hill. I would recommend both, but Los Paisanos has the bigger space and more choices on display. In Park Slope there is is the M&S Pork Store on 5th Avenue between 2nd and 3rd Streets, as well as Union Market on Union & 6th Avenue and on 7th Avenue between 12th & 13th Streeets. With any and every butcher, if you really want something, you should call ahead to see if they have it. If they don't, they can probably have it the next day.

Staubitz on Court Street in Cobble Hill and Los Paisanos on Smith Street in the same neighborhood. Both are popular and good. Both are quite expensive, Staubitz more expensive than Los Paisanos. I prefer Los Paisanos.
