there's a butcher shop over on grant st .. in the vicinity of W. Ferry, I believe.
Are there any actual BUTCHER shops left in Buffalo? Or are they all meat markets now?

One beautiful thing about having a government of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations is that every disaster is measured in terms of economic loss. It's sort of like getting your arm sheared off in a car accident and thinking, "Damn, now it'll take longer to fold the laundry" as blood spurts from your arteries. - The Rude Pundit

Noun 1. Butcher Shop - a shop in which meat and poultry (and sometimes fish) are sold.
I'm pretty sure it's against health codes to bring "whole animals" - dead or alive - into any place that sells food - uncooked or cooked. Most of the steaks and hamburger you buy from there comes from large quarters of cow that hang in the cooler and are processed and/or ground right in the store. That they don't necessarily perform that operation out in the open does not mean it's not happening i.e. "Seeing how sausage is made" and all that.
Take my word for it, it is a butcher shop. I worked for Federal Meats for years while in high school and between semesters in college.
I'll even go one further and reveal a bias by saying I think it is one of the best run small businesses in the area (or was, at least, during my tenure there). A niche market, for sure, in the days of huge supermarkets, but it has survived because it consistently made quality, not quantity, the goal. That and they take very good care of their employees, which can be integral in any successful business. If I was a big meat-eater I would be patronizing the Great Arrow store regularly.

Actually not totally true, they do cut their meats there. They are brought in as cow halves and then they cut it from there. I worked there for few years in high school and watched them do this. If you go to the butcher block they will cut steaks and things like this to the size you want..
