This place is great. They have almost anything you can imagine and will cut it anyway you desire. Everything is great quality and super fresh. If I lived in this area I would buy all my meat here. Oh, awesome prices too.
Found this place (and Arthur Ave. as well) a few weeks after moving to NYC and was looking for a place to buy pork belly and pork rind. None of the "butchers" (they shouldn't be allowed to even call themselves that) in my neighborhood carried either. A little googling (I wasn't aware of Yelp! yet) directed my search here. And thus a beautiful relationship with one of my favorite NYC neighborhoods was born. Thanks Peter!
Friendly neighborhood butcher shops like this are far & few in between, so Peter's inside the Arthur Avenue Market is a gem in the "Little Italy" of the Bronx. Whether you're looking for a nice steak, a crown roast or just a hamburger patty, this is the place. They also have some more exotic cuts like head of lamb & rabbit which they'll dress up how you'd like it. A whole refrigerator case is dedicated to freshly made italian sausages of all types.
A special order item just for the holidays is their extreme turducken ($6.99/lb). Just like a russian matryoshka nesting doll, you get a quail stuffed into a cornish game hen, then into a regular chicken, then into a duck and finally into a turkey. It's mostly boneless, pre-seasoned and prepped all ready for the oven. Once it's roasted, you just cut it up like a meatloaf. It takes a LOOONG time to cook because of its mass, but the secret is the duck because its fat is what keeps the whole thing moist throughout.
