A former barbershop on Broadway by the Williamsburg Bridge has become the latest addition to the expanding South Williamsburg culinary corridor, which includes (but is not limited to) Bridge Urban Winery, Marlow & Sons, Diner, Dressler, Miss Favela and La Superior. Now add Marlow & Daughters to the list; and before you get all "die yuppie scum!" please note that the barbershop closed only because the owner passed away over the summer, according to Brooklyn Based. (Of course it's possible he died from a heart broken by gentrification.)
Managed by micro-celebrity butcher Tom Mylan (friend of Gothamist), the shop specializes in pastured, grass-fed meat and carries everything from hoof to tail (see above). And since Mylan is the butcher for Marlow & Sons, Diner, and the two Bonita restaurants, he can buy whole animals and distribute every last tasty bit among the four eateries and the new shop. Almost all of it is sourced from regional farms and emphasizes a variety of breeds and species. For instance, rabbit, which Mylan put to use in a sausage for us just last week.

Is that a rat tail in the first pic?
so rat tails are the new delacacey?
this in a neighborhood where you can't buy fish.
Looks like piggy heaven to me. But where's the pig's head? Don't tell me they hid that in the back?
I thought it was possum
please stop. between this and the ground rabbit meat, it's not cutting edge to rotting corpse parts on your site. it's disgusting! please consider the vegans who frequent your site.
The last two pics are SFV (safe for vegans)
How dare you write something like "Of course it's possible he died from a heart broken by gentrification.”
I happen to know that barber was loved in that neighborhood and by his family and it was their hearts that were broken.
Try to show some respect.
This is why people hate yuppie scum like you!
vegans lol
Perhaps if you knew that barber Tony, who you think may have died from "a heart broken by gentrification," then you would know that I am his daughter, and that he actually died of a sudden heart attack on Oct. 13, 2007 leaving my entire family and the Williamsburg community devastated.
My father was a barber at 95 Broadway for almost 40 years after moving here from Italy. He owned the barber shop as well as the building. He was an icon in the neighborhood, known and loved by so many people, and even highly revered by the Jewish community. He never kept hours; he left when the last customer needed a haircut. Before the Jewish holidays he worked until midnight sometimes. He had customers who came from every borough, even New Jersey, because they didn't trust their hair to anyone else. He paid house calls to some elderly customers who couldn't make it out of the house anymore. He kept toys and candy for the kids, and treats for the neighborhood dogs who passed by. Everyone said walking into his shop was like stepping into an old friend's living room. When he passed away there was an outpouring of love and support from customers and friends and tenants of his in the neighborhood; flowers and candles and cards were left outside the shop, and someone even placed a wreath outside for Christmas. My father is sorely missed by many people in the Williamsburg community.
Why don't you write an article about that, instead of the insensitive crap you published?

Isn't anyone tired of the "fake old-tyme mom and pop shop" trend in Brooklyn.
Calm down, People . It's the internet, you will be offended from time to time jeez. Move along.
Is being able to cook good food for yourself considered yuppie now? Places like this should exist everywhere. There's no reason only yuppies can eat healthy grass-fed farm raised meat. (not sarcastic)
And yes, I'm sure the writer's post didn't intend making a personal attack at the barber. It's simply a shot of dark humor about the ongoing bits of tension that is gentrification. Could have been left out probably.
No one said it was personal attack; it was insensitive and idiotic. "Dark humor" is funny until it's your father whose death is mocked in some BS article like this online. That's when you give a sh*t. So don't tell me to calm down.
ugh, hipster butcher shops.
So far this place is awesome. But closed in less than a year unless those Marlow pockets are DEEP
Calm down.
Good one Rocknrope. You're a scumbag. And you're smiling right now bc you know it's true.
