Arthur Avenue Retail Market

Great market with food and produce! We had some pizza, pastries, coffee! Super cute area around. Enjoyed this market and surrounding area! Great experience ! Food in NY is just amazing.

Charming little indoor market with fresh produce, meats, cigars, pastries, beer, cured meats and cheeses all offered under the auspices of an authentic Italian vibe. Rather short on variety despite its appearance otherwise, with too many much larger purveyors just outside the stalls. If you’re on Arthur Avenue, why not stop by.

Want a true New York experience? Do you love amazingly great food? Are you tired of plastic wrapped commercially prepared packages at the local supermarket? Then come to Arthur Avenue in The Bronx and enjoy this incredible place filled with vendors who have been there for generations. From Pete’s Meats to Mike’s Deli and all the others, you will have a more than a fabulous experience.
Arthur Avenue is filled with Italian food stores and restaurants that are among the best in NYC. This indoor marketplace is like an Italian bazaar that’s really a cornucopia of delights. Triple A quality, everything you can imagine and then some delivered to you with unbelievable customer service. At Pete’s Meat you can buy ready to go items that you bring home and cook tonight. Afraid to get it because not sure how to cook it? Ask them. They’ll tell you. At Mike’s Deli the most awesomely delicious sandwiches, fresh mozzarella you can watch being made that is so sweet you’ll swear you’ve never tasted anything like it before. There’s produce galore and barrels of every kind of olive you know and then some. There’s even a hand rolled cigar vendor who will roll you a cigar on the spot.
I love coming here. No, I’m not Italian but no matter your background, who doesn’t love Italian food? Start here when you go to Arthur Avenue and then walk up and down the street and don’t forget to have a meal at one of the many fabulous restaurants. On the way home, stop at a bakery (every one is outrageous) to take home the best baked goods you’ve ever had. Oh and you want fish? Well you haven’t seen anything yet. The best fresh seafood and fish.
When I was here this week, I met people who had driven over 2 hours to get here. No they weren’t from some remote area. They were from places like Princeton NJ. What you get here is that amazing. These folks cheerfully waited on line (It’s Xmas time so what do you expect at 3 pm?) while trays of home made red wine were passed around along with samples of mozzarella and other goodies.
I used to come here with my father when I was a little girl and believe me, the place is still as I remember it — a truly authentic NY experience in a wonderful Italian marketplace in the heart of Arthur Avenue across from the municipal parking lot. If you’re ever in the NYC area you must come to the Arthur Ave Retail Market.

I like this place. Cute little market with a few vendors. Honestly the only reason to come here is for the produce. There are a ton of fruits and veggies to choose from and they are all extremely cheap, yet fresh. I needed garlic for a dish I was making and a pound was $ 2.99. I didn’t need nearly that amount so my order came to $ 0.90.
There are a couple of bakeries within but I feel as though there are better bakeries to explore in the Belmont area. There are two entrances so if you want to enter on one street and exit on another, you can. They also have an open air cigar shop where they are busy rolling cigars, which is pretty effin’ cool especially in the middle of a market.

Wow amazing selection of foods. We danced, we sang, had a lot of fun with the kids. Cigar store. What a euphoric experience.

Anyone know where can I go to buy a sandwich, some fresh produce, a full side of raw beef, a «F.ederal B. reast I.nspector» t-​shirt and a hand-​rolled cigar? Oh, and I’d also like to get drunk, because that’s the only way I’m going to wear a Federal Breast Inspector t-​shirt.
How about Arthur Avenue Retail Market, where if you need it or not, you can definitely find it. A charming indoor «mall» boasting a deli, a butcher, a fruit/​veg. market, for some reason a vendor of novelty shirts you’d have to be a class– A assh*le to purchase… they are all here. This is also where a little Bronx gem resides (the Bronx Beer Hall) directly in the center of the market. Here you can grab a flight of good beers and a pizza or a few apps. Drink enough and those shirts may actually seem like a reasonable investment. A «No Fat Chicks» tee is hilarious until you (deservedly) get your dick punched off.
In case I’m being vague, I do love this place. I come here at lunch, I come here after work with my colleagues for a few drinks. I stop by if I’m waiting for a table at one of the restaurants across the street. I loiter here like a punk and try to shake down Arthur Ave. tourists. None of them take me seriously despite my imposing «Orgasm Donor» tank top…

Its great here, where else can you buy a cigar, have some drink at the bar, eat at a few different Italian eateries and buy fresh produce and meat.
My favorite thing being Im an avid cigar smoker, is the cigar hand rollers right as you walk in. Nothing is better than walking into a place that smells like fresh hand rolled cigars.

Pretty good, if small market in the Little Italy section of the Bronx which specializes in imported Italian foods. Nice meat and produce selections at fairly reasonable prices. Want something to eat? There’s some tables where you can grab nice pasta dishes, some wine and an espresso. It’s a nice place to come.

Nifty market to score some fresh produce, Italian style meats and deli items, hand rolled cigars, etc, or have a few beers with a freshly made personal pizza.
Walking in you hit the open air cigar shop and watch stogies made the old fashioned hand rolled way. It’s an art form that is dying out nowadays.
Wandering through the aisles there is an assortment of Italian deli, pastries, pasta, butcher, pizza joint, cheeses, olives, great looking produce and other merchandise.
Best part of this market is the Bronx Beer Hall where you can saunter up to the bar and sip away at a mason jar full of tasty brew. Or, take a seat at one of the tables and order a personal pizza. Feast away with the sounds of 80’s freestyle and old hip hop hits playing over the speakers. A real Bronx vibe here.
Sure, it’s a touristy kind of spot, but one that I enjoyed and worth another visit when up in Da Bronx.

This was one of our favorite places to visit in the Bronx on our recent trip to NYC. The huge barrels of olives, cheeses, etc. were cool to see and even better to try when we sat at the Brewery in the middle of the market and ordered paninis from one of the vendors within. Sights, sounds, flavors, it was all really neat inside.
The Dominicans rolling cigars right inside the doors were great and provided a great souvenir to bring back for my father-​in-​law.

This place is great! It’s one of those huge buildings that house a ton of booths that you can walk around and shop from many vendors. And it’s all fantastic Italian stuff. Excellent meats, pastas, olives, breads, and vegetables.

Was so disappointed with this deli. I just ordered a Small Junior’s Favorite Spinach Salad with shrimp $ 10 to go and a double Espresso total $ 16.50. They asked what dressing I wanted I said no balsamic just oil and vinegar. Guess what I came home and no shrimp and only balsamic dressing! Never again.

While I’m a big fan of the entire market, this review is based solely on my experience at Mike’s Deli. This unassuming deli makes an Italian sub (aka Big Mike Combo) that will knock your socks off. I still have dreams of heaps of Mortadella, ham, salami, capicola & provolone soaked in olive oil and vinegar. It’s as large as a small child, and comes with a side of their delicious pasta. Wash it all down with a brew at the neighboring Bronx Beer Hall. The vibe at the market is authentic Italian… you won’t find a place like this in the Disney-​fied Little Italy of Manhattan! Big Mike’s is where it’s at.

This is a prime reason for going to the Bronx Little Italy. You can buy souvenir t shirts, eat a meal, get gelato, and shop on the Arthur Ave strip.
Parking is a nightmare though. And it’s a one-​way street. And it can get crowded on a Saturday, since I believe they’re closed on Sunday. But I’ve also been there during the week and it’s pretty crowded.

Italian market with all sorts of groceries, produce, meats, baked goods, cheeses. There’s a bar here too. You can also buy T-​shirts with inscriptions like DA BRONX and FUGGETABOUTIT. Public restroom upstairs as well as additional seating for Mike’s Deli where you can get a variety of delicious Italian specialties. There are a bunch of folks rolling fresh cigars in the front which I thought was a nice touch!
Definitely a cool spot to check out. Metered parking lot across the street. Oh, and we came on a Saturday afternoon in the winter and it was not crowded.

Really nice spot to pick up meats and vegetables — very reasonable prices. My mom and I enjoyed acting like tourists.

I asked one of my customers where I should go in the Bronx, and he recommended a number of venues – they were all inside the Market or nearby. And since I was headed to the Bronx Beer Hall, I was able to visit all of his assignments! I love this market – it had a real neighborhood feel and reminded me of my beloved Lexington Market in Baltimore, Maryland.
There are restrooms, and they’re upstairs.

One of many places to visit on Arthur Avenue, I highly recommend stopping by to get fresh pastries, espresso, vegetables, meats, panini, canned goods, and anything else you might want or need.
Everyone we met was very helpful and friendly even though we were clearly not Italian, and yes we were tourists. We can’t wait to return!

This is my favorite place on Arthur Avenue. When you first walk in their is a cigar stand with employees rolling fresh cigars right in front of you. As you walk around you’ll notice there’s a bar, a fresh pasta shop, a pizza place, a butcher, a bakery, and many more. Every Italian delicacy you can imagine is being sold with top quality here. The atmosphere is very communal and jovial.
I highly suggest snooping out the little pizza joint in the back, they have a freezer in front in which they sell Frozen Limocellos. Holy cow they are delicious! Sit back at one of the little tables, dive in, and enjoy the chatter, the music, the smells, and overall the simple pleasures of life that we all too often rush over.
