Joe's Pork Store in Astoria to Move


Good news for Joe's Pork Store, the unassuming, third-generation butcher in Astoria. A reader writes in and says, "I just went there to get my goods for Memorial Day and they told me they are moving into a bigger store on Ditmars between 36-37th Streets (just a block) on June 6, 2011."

When's the last time you heard a story about an old-school butcher not only surviving, but thriving?

    Joe's pork is the absolute best. We travel from Rockland county to buy their sausage... every year I host a sausage party and it's Joe's Pork and cheese sausage that has made it famous.
