Esposito Meat Market is the real deal. This spot’s been holding it down since 1932 - and talking over 90 years of meat mastery. The vibes are old-school legit, like they’ve been perfecting this craft forever and just know how to do it right. The selection? Straight fire. They’ve got everything - juicy steaks, fresh ground beef, pork chops, and some next-level specialty cuts you can’t find anywhere else. And the quality? Always on point. If you’re into making sauces, soups, or anything that slaps, their cuts are perfect for that too.
The staff? Mad cool. They’re super chill, always ready to answer your questions, and will hook you up with cooking tips or prep your meat exactly how you need it. It’s the kind of spot where you go once, and next time, they’re already calling you by name. Bottom line: If you’re not hitting up Esposito, you’re missing out. This OG spot has been the plug for fresh, quality meat since the Great Depression, and they’re still killing...

Prices are great. There is no match for it. You can't expect any cheaper meats in the midtown area. It's a family owned shop and it's been around for a very long time. They do care about their customers.
Lastly, leaving without their chicken sausages should be considered an offense. I personally have not tasted any better sausages in my life. Don't leave without...
Read moreNot many customers can say this……..I first started going to this butcher shop with my parents when there was at least 4 other butcher shops located within 3 blocks. At that time Robert his brother, father and uncle ran the operation. Back in the day you were able to get store credit with a handshake. Over 55 years later Bobby and Hector the “dynamic duo” are still providing the best service and have the best selection and quality in NYC. They have everything in stock! I work in the city and live over 50 miles away but still buy meat every week of the year! My mother in law travels from Sheepshead’s Bay to buy meat. I can’t convince her to do many things but I was able to get her to travel to Esposito’s. Lollll. I highly recommend you make a trip to Esposito’s. Bobby, now that’s a...
