good italian pork store in queens?

to buy fresh mozzarella and fresh prosciutto and yummy stuff like that? preferably near forest hills. There was a place we always went to growing up in Ridgewood but of course my parents don't remember the name/address.

TIA.

I don't know of anywhere personally, but is there an A&S Pork Store in that area?

I sent you an FM the other day and got a weird message about there being a problem with the account name? Have you gotten any others this week?

ETA: I see a Forest Pork Store on Forest Avenue near 75th Avenue. Could that be it?

Hey girly. Is this for the dinner you're making at the apt??

A&S is in Massapequa I know, that's where my dad goes.... there must be an Iavarone still in the neighborhood, I just have to find it. It might be the forest avenue one; that's near where we used to live. But this is like 20 years later so who knows what it's like now!

I sent you back - just got your fm now.

was it iavarone brothers? they have all that good stuff.

Theres also a pork store in whitestone, corner of clintonville street and 14 avenue.

Oh yes, there may be an Iavarone. I haven't been over there in awhile so I can't remember. Maybe someone else on here knows better.

there was another. i always thought it was Valentino, but that was the owner's name not the name of the store. leave it to my parents.

but yes i'll check out where iavarone is in the neighborhood. The whitestone one i used to go to when i lived in bayside; it's a little far from me now.

thanks!

You can always got to the East Village Cheese shop when you're downtown. they have EVERYTHING and they are soo cheap. (cash only) They even bring in bread from Balthazar.

It's located in Middle Village on Metropolitan ave.

there's an iavarone on grand avenue, which can't be that far. I'll check them out. was hoping for one in walking distance (like, on austin) but beggars can't be choosers.

thanks girls!

So, you'll be in Garden City on Saturday before the family dinner on Sunday? Let me ask my Mom what's in the area there.
