I am having a blast shopping in this city! I was at Zabars today (loved it), but wasn't able to find nice wooden skewers. I am using for a small hors 'douvre of chery tomato and buffalo mozzarella. I am staying at the Chelsea Piers but can take a taxi to pick them up. thanks!

on a separate note I had an amazing peanut butter and jelly cupcake from blue smoke at a bbq festival last year in the flatiron park. I have checked the restaurant website and they do not serve, but was amazing!

Best Provisions in Manhattan?

Hey, I am a yacht chef and docked at Chelsea Piers for a few weeks. Have some guest trips coming up and would like to know some of the best spots around town for meat, fish, general stuff etc. I found the local whole foods, I think I found an awesome fish store at the chelsea market (along with an amazing italian market). I am headed to Zabars and Lobells tomorrow. I remember there is a good farmers market past the flatiron district. btw I had the most amazing sandwich at Katz.s today (pastrami rueben) Seriously like the best sandwich I have ever had. Then to Magnolia bakery for cupcakes- I was so excited to try the red velvet cupcake but it was dry and terrible. Also money is not an issue. you can follow along as i try and figure this all out at cheftraveler.com thanks for your time we have busy and I have not had time to research.

Thanks guys and gals- sounds like Western Beef it is! I do need to check out chinatown while I am here. I am making mock momofuku buns appetizers. Found a steamed bun dry mix at an asian grocery in Florida and it tastes pretty good!

Just another reason to visit that great market! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer for me.

Where Can I Buy Pork Belly?

Any Idea where I can buy pork belly in Manhattan? I am in the chelsea area of town for a few weeks. I am planning on going to lobells because I have heard it is the best butcher in town, but now sure they will sell this specialty item. The local whole foods does not carry it. Thanks for your time!
