Prime Meats

Through the end of the 19th century, most New York butcher shops were owned by Central European immigrants. They didn't just sell ground meat, tenderloins and pork chops. They also sold sausages, spaetzle and sauerkraut.

Prime Meats, a new restaurant in Carroll Gardens, honors the tradition. In fact, the restaurant was inspired by a German butcher-shop sign from the 1880s that hung on Flatbush Ave.
