Where to buy prepared "home-cooked" meals near Croton, NY?

May 19, 2013 3:07 AM

Is there a great place near Croton, NY that sells a week of prepared "home-cooked" meals? I'd like to give a few weeks of no-cooking as a happy new baby gift to my brother and his wife.

Near me (Chapel Hill, NC), there's a local place that calls this sort of thing family dinners. I'm looking for something similar, but near Croton, NY.

Quality is more important that price. Delivery would be great, but its not a deal breaker.

Also: please don't hesitate to reply if this is a terrible idea. Still very new at this sort of thing.

I'll try to think of more, but off the top of my head Villarina's Market would be my go to. Don't be turned off by their crappy site, they are a local family owned market & butcher that always has great looking take away foods, and they do specialize in take-home dinners (I would bet they would deliver too). We got our Christmas rib roast from them and could not be happier about the quality of the meat & seasoning, and I run in there all the time for little things (fresh mozzeralla, good pasta, imported prosciutto...).

Briarcliff Seafoods & Meats might also be a good place to check to see if they do full take away dinners, same deal as Villarina's, but they might have a better selection of seafood if the family likes fish, and will be a little less italian food oriented. Everything is always super super fresh, and they make fantastic sandwiches. Really nice guys too.
