Bread, Meat & Cheese
The merchants in the Arthur Avenue Retail Market offer visitors a tiny slice of Italy. It’s is the place to go for fresh bread, produce and Italian meats and cheese. Long-time merchants include the Arthur Avenue Baking Company offering focaccia, stuffed breads and pane di casa and Peter’s Meat Market which has been selling fresh-cut meats and poultries since 1970.
Mike’s Deli features a selection of meats and cheese that will take you back to your nonna’s kitchen, from the dry soppresate and sausages to the ricotta salata and mozzarella which is made fresh every day. Mike’s Deli brought Arthur Avenue to the Food Network’s “Throwdown with Bobby Flay” when owner David Greco battled the Southern celebrity chef for the title of “Best Eggplant Parmagiana” and won.
Mt. Carmel Gourmet Foods offers a variety of fine products such as fresh pastas, gourmet olive oils and Modena balsamic vinegar. Fresh fruit, veggies, figs and chestnuts can be found at Boiano Foods and Joe Libertore Garden of Plenty, known for its juicy Jersey plum tomatoes. And look no further than the Arthur Avenue Market Pasticceria for homemade Italian ices, pastries and gelato. |
