Marconda’s Meats
At Marconda’s, you’ll see the pro’s ordering at the counter every day. The selection is amazing: a wide range of steaks and chops, roasts butchered to your specifications, ground beef and lamb, homemade Italian sausage (turkey Italian sausage, too) and a New York hot dog which is simply sublime. Don’t neglect the exceptional array of cold cuts around the corner from the main counter. Click here to learn about the DeRosa Family, owners of Marconda's Meats.
 
Specialty Foods
Stall 230
Light My Fire
Light My Fire has hundreds (perhaps thousands) of hot sauces from around the world. Ranging from mild and amusing to spicy enough to curl eyebrows, the selection here is so rich and varied that a single selection seems impossible. A posted scale corresponds to the locations of the sauces, rated from 1 (just a little kick) to 10 (you’ll need a large glass of milk to soothe the burn).
 
Specialty Foods

Nonna's Empanadas
Offering one of the largest selections of baked empanadas in the city, from the traditional beef and chicken to unique fillings like macaroni & cheese and Philly cheese steak, Nonna’s offers an assortment of sweet options, including apple, Nutella and dulce de leche. Traditional Argentine empanadas may be the star here, but the specialty merchant also sells a variety of salads, traditional desserts and even homemade jarred chimichurri sauce.
