Making artisanal sausage at Esposito's

When Giovanni Esposito opened his Mulberry Street butcher shop in 1933, the neighborhood was the destination point for fresh meat and fish. Today, Giovanni Esposito & Sons, run by Giovanni's grandson, Robert Esposito and relocated to Hell's Kitchen, is one of a dying breed of specialty stores in the neighborhood that has maintained both its stellar reputation and its clientele.
