Bonao Meats & Produce Inc

Upper Manhattan butcher counters have a way of feeling like neighborhood secrets. Bonao Meats & Produce Inc fits that mold—right where Broadway meets 177th, a spot where the scent of freshly cut chuck and the clatter of cleavers have been part of the block for years. The address is 4189 Broadway, New York, NY 10033, a stretch where bodegas and old-school grocers still outnumber chain stores. They handle everything from whole chickens to specialty cuts, and if you ask, they’ll slice it just the way you need it.

Butchers here tend to keep things simple: no frills, just sharp knives and steady hands. Bonao sticks to that script, offering custom orders alongside staples like ground beef, pork chops, and marinated meats ready for the grill. The selection leans toward what regulars actually cook—nothing flashy, just reliable cuts that hold up in stews or on the grill. It’s the kind of place where you can grab a pound of stew meat and a handful of onions without making two stops.
