La Granja Live Poultry Corporation

La Granja Live Poultry Corporation trades in the unglamorous daily work of getting dinner on the table, out here on Amsterdam Ave, where supermarkets sell shrink-wrapped cuts and butcher counters list prices per pound. The place leans into the raw edge of poultry retail, with birds still in feather and customers weighing their options by feel rather than labels. Strolling past the Upper West Side’s usual suspects, they remind passersby that some proteins arrive in the back seat of a hatchery van instead of a refrigerated truck. Head to 1355 Amsterdam Ave, New York, NY 10027 if you want a whole roaster, a set of stew hens, or a single Cornish hen ready for the pot. They crack live weights into concrete numbers and slice carcasses your way, then bag feathers before you leave. Need a quick pickup? Slide inside, make your pick, and head out—no detours. Use the directions when the GPS sends you past the fire hydrant. Tell them you’re coming through on 212-662-6773. Weeknight cooks know this shortcut all too well.
