I haven't had any problems (yet) with the meat at Key Food on Nostrand. Got some good steaks there... chicken is usually fresh. Good produce. No seafood, though.

I'm always happy to join the freaks. They are my people! On another note one of the eagle-eyed Brownstoner commenters noticed that the awning has a misspelling: Myrtle is spelled "Mytle." This intersection has been plagued with misspellings in the past. I guess this is just a tribute to the area's history... LOL, rh!!!! I’m always happy to join the freaks. They are my people!
