Florence Meat Market

This sawdust-scented, pint-size butcher shop in the West Village has an old-timey vibe, sacrificing none of the quality you’d find at larger stores. The owners are happy to cut you Newport steaks (the specialty) or other cuts of beef, chicken or sausage—as well as more exotic finds like quail, rabbit or pheasant—to order. They also age beef for up to six weeks, and if you’re not a regular, you might become one after calling ahead for holiday specials like Thanksgiving turkeys.
