Albanese Meats & Poultry — Local services in New York

I have seen this place featured on Instagram before.

I work nearby, so I thought I’d give it a try. I arrived at 5:20, and Jennifer was finishing with a customer. As soon as she noticed me she greeted me and asked me what I needed, so she can tell me if they have it or not before I continue waiting.

Some places (with far more personnel working the same shift) don’t do this, and while I understood I had to wait, it’s a nice gesture.

Once I got to place my order, she took the time to cut them to specification and cleaning the excess fat.

The meat looked good already, and I couldn’t wait to get home to cook it. It smells fresh, it doesn’t look brown, and the marbling on the short rib is amazing.

I sous vide cooked them for 24hrs and it’s definitely one of the best short ribs I tried.

I’m definitely coming back, specially after learning they have rabbit and duck to order.

Noticeable mention is how clean everything is. The knives and equipment are spotless and the entire place is neatly clean.

Amazing customer service, and just as amazing quality meat.

I’ll be coming...

Came home and started cooking and as the beef was cooking, i gave it a taste and Wow! It was amazing! Sorry i used it for chili!! Who knew! Can't wait to get more and make burgers... medium rare...yum! Thank you!
