Bagel Barn on the corner of 12th Avenue and 65th Street in Brooklyn. It's a walk in or drive through place and the guys who work here make a perfect cup every time!

Abraco, for sure. I was there to sample some sweets, and the owner surprised me with a complimentary iced coffee--it was divine!

I go to Porto Rico Importing Co, 201 Bleecker Street. It's a great place for whole beans, of course, but they will also brew-up a cup of anything you want at the small cafe in back. Best, freshest selection around.

Pizzeria in Trouble After Butchering Deer
Haha. I'd love to ask the deer-butchering pizza guy a few questions.

And here I was wondering how a deer wound up at St. Marks & First.

Actually, here in NYC, at least in the outer boroughs, the butchers get whole animals. My former landlord was a butcher in Windsor Terrace, and when you peered through to the back area, you could see whole cows hanging. In my current neighborhood, I've definitely seen whole lambs and pigs. I think neighborhoods that have more "ethnic" populations often have butchers that d whole animals.

@ESNY, Butchering doesn't happen in a pizzeria, and it doesn't happen even in what you consider "butcher shops" -- at least not starting with the whole carcass. I interviewed the guy who owns the local butcher shop and asked him about cutting up venison or things that hunters might bring in, and his answer was no, not never. While he has the skills and the tools and the space, he said that it would be way too much trouble to segregate everything beforehand and clean everything afterward according to health codes so that he could be cutting meat for customers by the next morning.
Basically, all the meat that comes into butcher shops is inspected and it's just meat and bones, divided into halves or quarters or whatever the shop orders. They aren't getting whole cows in the back door.
The kind of butchery that was going on in that pizzeria belonged in a meat packing facility, not a food-prep kitchen. And, BTW, there are several in my area where hunters can bring in their kills, and where farmers bring in livestock for one-at-a-time cutting and packing. So it's not like you need to go to some mega-processor to get the work done. So, either you do it in a private facility, like your garage where health inspections don't play a part, or you have it done at a proper facility.
