Anyone have any suggestions for a butcher in Brooklyn? Nothing over the top, doesn't need to be grass fed etc 
The steaks at the supermarkets aren't cutting it..
Would also be nice to buy some decent pork and goat, but my biggest need is steak.
Rents in Crown Heights are going crazy right now hitting ues prices...
It's cheaper and makes more sense for me to buy a two bedroom condo in a townhouse in Manhattan than a two bedroom walk up in Brooklyn.

Yo Reb you should really check out Mary Pattillo's work, her work on class dynamics within the Black community are
I find it interesting that there are so little writings on class dynamics in relation to the Black community.

The subway commute to Manhattan is longer, and organic markets and stylish boutiques are fewer. But those are the trade-offs as the search for more affordable real estate in Brooklyn pushes deeper into neighborhoods that for some New Yorkers still evoke images of burned-out buildings, riots and poverty.
