Calabria Pork Store
We aren’t sure what a store with hundreds of hot soppressata hanging from the ceiling is supposed to smell like, but the sweet, musky, cheesy smell inside this salumi shoppe shocks the system every time. Calabria Pork Store, simply put, is the sh*t, and a sandwich is the best way to sample their goods. Any meat you pull from the sausage chandelier will be your new favorite food, but the store specializes in hot soppressata served on ciabatta or a hero roll. They also carry culatello, which is pretty hard to find and will turn you into an absolute fiend once you try it. Calabria is a really special store, and it’s worth a visit for the unexpected aroma alone.
