Meat on the Beach

Ernesto Monte crams a staggering array of gourmet sundries—from Sicilian olive oil to his own line of sauces—into his narrow shop. Local, hormone- and antibiotic-free meat and poultry are either unadorned or prepared in a variety of oven-ready roasts and grill-happy marinades. Golden roast chickens, sticky ribs and mounds of fresh salads are ready for takeout. The whole family pitches in: pies are baked by Aunt Carmelina, and frozen pasta is made by Aunt Cesira. A new focus on organic produce makes this a one-stop shop.
