I just moved to the West Village a few months ago and lamented at the thought of having to buy meat from a supermarket. I grew up in in Queens in the 70s and 80s where we always had our German butcher. Then I moved to the Upper East Side and the managing butchers at Agata & Valentina, always took care of me with the best cuts of meat. I tried Balducci (14th st- horrible!) and D'Ags (ick!) I thought I would have to just make bi-monthly trips to Agata's for meat. I found FLorence through the internet and decided to give them a try. THE BEST DECISION EVER! I LOVE THIS PLACE! Their Newport steaks, lamb sausages, chicken, rocks!! I cook at home all the time and everyone raves about my cooking. Secret is to always have the best ingredients and now Florence is part of my secret to my yummy meals. And, they are helpful with their advice on the best cuts for your meal and it reminds me of the butcher shop I grew up with. THanks!!!
Pros: OUTSTANDING QUALITY & FRESHNESS!
Cons: Closed on Sundays & Mondays

I came to this place after reading good things about it, but upon arrival I was skeptical about the quality of the meat since the neighborhood seems kinda ritzy for a meat shop. However, after having just had dinner served with the tenderloin filets I bought, I will definitely come back to Florence Prime Meats for my cuts. Savory, deep and earthly, the beef was excellent. It has a taste I never had from any other shops (or most restaurants for most matter) I have been to, and I have done my share of shopping for meat. Simply delicious!
Pros: Good meat, custom cuts, unique shopping experience.
Cons: Pricier than supermarket cuts (you pay for the quality).
