This is an interesting place,,, although my Sister was telling me we used to come here all the time for meat when I was younger. This is a butcher shop like on a wholesale level though, nothing fancy and they have a plethora of seasonings for said meat as well. Ethnic rice to purchase too! According to my big Sister the prices were competitive if not better than the local grocery markets. It can be confusing to find as it is in an Industrial warehouse area but don't fret - they have all your meat needs covered. Respectfully Reviewed.

Butchers are always helpful, and the owner is extremely nice…read more The prices are much better than the supermarkets and the meats appear to be much fresher. Don't be intimidated by its industrial location, just remember that this is one of the old types of Butcher shops, and the concentration is on the product.

I could've eaten it with a straw I ate it so quick! I had gone to the bakery next door first(also a great place) but the line was too long. So i tried this place. I'll be coming back again, that's for sure! Not only do they sell meats, & breakfast but also all kinds of Imported Irish groceries. Everything from milk & butter to tea & candy. The very friendly staff kept asking if I needed help, because I was waiting for take out-I probably appeared lost as my dog was outside & I kept going in & out checking on him.

For the nuts for example, you can get different nuts in variety of flavors like spicy cashews, bbq pistachio, or everything cashew. If you want to switch it up, there are Dubai hazelnuts and pistachio covered macadamia which tasted amazing.

Service is excellent as staff members will let you sample some nuts so you can see what you like.

Glad I had the opportunity to attend this event via Yelp (also the media sponsor for the event)…read more For one night, under the roof of the Cyclorama - you'll find a majority of the South End restaurant powerhouses showcase their culinary skills to support a worthy cause "Aids Action Committee of MA". To top it off, unlimited wine from different regions to sample. The energy and vibe was awesome. All the volunteers I'd encountered were helpful and friendly. I had so much fun talking to the chefs and learning more about their restaurants. This was definitely a great way to get a sneak preview of the restaurants before booking dinner reservations. The restaurants were so generous with their portions and quantity. One cannot leave hungry and can even go back for seconds. Huge variety of options - fresh shucked oysters (Kitchen), thin crust pizza (Upper Crust), tuna and potatoe au gratin (Petit Robert Bistro), plaintain wrapped crabmeat/scallop (Orinoco), vegetable samosas (Mela), cupcakes (South End Buttery), whoopie pies (Flour Bakery) and chocolate chip cookies (Haley House Bakery). Aside from the food and wine tasting - there were other activities - silent auction, mystery gifts, wine ring toss and cooking demonstration (learned a couple tricks from Gordon Hamersley). Wrapped the night up with a mystery gift (6 bottles of wine from Whole Foods). Definitely looking forward to the next one!

When I originally went to this event through Yelp I didn't see anywhere to review. However, I still…read morewanted to throw my 2 cents into the ring for potential attendees next year. The set up was great, similar to many events at Cyclorama friendly volunteers beckoned you in applying wristbands, taking tickets and coats and eventually giving you a plate. I might also note that the plate had a wineglass holder built in. Genius. I hate awkward events where I need to eat and hold a wineglass. At first I was nervous that as a vegetarian I would have one, maybe two choices out of all the wonderful restaurants. Luckily as we worked our way around the options were plentiful and amazingly delicious. The restaurateurs (is that a real word?) were friendly and their presentation was amazing. The winner in my mind was Picco, which made a fantastic "Adult Ice Cream Float" with a tart cherry lambic and what seemed like the creamiest vanilla ice cream I have had in quite some time. There was a lot of opportunities to continue supporting Aids Action Committee, everything from games like the Wine Ring Toss to a silent auction. They also had chef's do cooking presentations (guess who learned that its not that hard to make mayo, this guy). The only downside of the evening was it seemed like the wine tasting people were giving me dirty looks every time I saddled up for a refill. All in all an amazing event with some amazing food from the South End. Thanks again for hooking it up Damien/Yelp!

I stopped by this store one day this week since I happened to be in the area. Upon entering I was…read moreimmediately greeted by one of the owners, who was very welcoming and said to ask him if I had any questions. As the name implies, the store's speciality is olive oil, and you can sample a wide variety of oils and vinegars. If that's not your forte, don't worry because the store has plenty more to offer. I spent a long time just browsing the store because it's beautifully arranged. Even though it's fairly small, they make good use of the space. You can get locally made ice cream and honey, as well as kitchenware imported from all over the world. I found a very cute Christmas gift for my mom. There also sell cheeses, spices, teas, hot sauces - a lot more than I can list. Easily accessible whether you're driving or using public transit. There's street parking in many places along Beacon Street and the shop is right next to the Summit Avenue stop on the C branch of the Green Line.
