Three cheese stores in the market now! As I have said repeatedly, it's a pity the greenmarkets can't welcome these types of vendors. If it could just stay open an hour later, Essex Market would be pretty much one-stop shopping for me.

Swankier and swankier. I made it to Formaggio Essex, and they have some very good stuff. The cheeses are mainly imported, mainly French and Spanish, which makes a nice complement to Saxelby's selection of artisanal American cheeses. Look out for a French cheese called La Dréan: buttery and nutty.
But they also have some special charcuterie - lomo and salchichon Iberico, for example, as well as all kinds of fancy oils and pasta and truffle-infused whatnots.

All at the same booth?

I figured it needed its own thread:
The Essex Street Market exists as an urban planner’s vision of commercial utopia — the sort of retail space now all but non-existent in New York, where increasingly segregated social classes come together to share if not the actual experience of affluence, then the readily purchasable signifiers of it.

Done.

So did we. A merger might be in order.

Essex Street Cheese, the mysterious store offering only (good) aged Comte, which I only ever found open once, seems to have gone. If I am right, the newcomer is a cafe called Paradou, which I assume to be a branch of the West Village cafe. (Hey, if Frank Bruni can't be bothered fact-checking...)

Eater.com reports that Shopsin's is closing, and may reopen in a greatly truncated form as a lunch counter in the Market.

Apparently you can still order their Comte through Freshdirect. I have done so a couple of times and both times it has been excellent.

It was good stuff, and I think that makes much more sense than a retail outlet in a market.

Can someone please supply the name and/or phone number for the butcher at the Essex Street Market? Thanks.
They're really rockin' on Bandstand.

From earlier in this thread:
Jeffrey's.
And there's the latino butcher which is also good, but I don't know the name.

Luis Meat Market, and that site will lead you to all the other merchants too.
