Where to find Taylor ham/pork roll in NYC?

December 4, 2013 8:30 PM

I need to know once and for all: where can I find Taylor ham (or pork roll, depending on where you're from) in New York City?

So, I'm originally from New Jersey, and I haven't had Taylor ham, a.k.a. ambrosia in meat form, since I left home and moved to Brooklyn. I miss it terribly, and I'm having a real hankering for it right now. But the one place I've been able to find it (The Meat Hook, if if helps) has it only sometimes and they charge a bit more than I'm willing to pay.

So, where in NYC can I definitely, for sure buy this tasty goodness? I've Googled this, but all the threads are at least 2-3 years old, and I'd like more recent info. Anywhere in Brooklyn, particularly the north part, would be preferable, but I work in Manhattan and could go get it there if I need to.

Note: I know of places where I can get the Taylor ham, egg, and cheese sandwiches. I'm looking to just take it home, cook it, and consume it. I am also perfectly aware that I can get it either back in Jersey or from certain websites. I can't do either of these things right now for reasons.

Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure I saw it at Fairway in Red Hook recently. Call and ask them?

I think it's at Court Street Grocer in Carroll Gardens. If you can't find it, memail me. Someone was just telling me they found it recently...
