Swan Market · Beechwood
Swan Market on Parsells Avenue is a German butcher shop that Gunter Schwann opened in 1970, now run by Barry Fischer, who carries on the traditions, as CITY Magazine's food guide notes. The counter is known for house sausages and German prepared lunches on weekends. Order a link of the house bratwurst, or a German lunch plate from the deli case.
Skip's on the Ridge · Northwest
Allan DiPasquale, president and owner of Skip's Meat Market on West Ridge Road, told WROC's Isabel Garcia that prime rib and tenderloins are the Christmastime best sellers and that prices were up about ten percent over the year before. The local butcher shop has been around for more than three decades. Order a holiday roast ahead of the week you need it, or a less expensive cut such as top sirloin.
