My Take
Our Take
The Spot
Gene's Sausage Shop and Delicatessen anchors Lincoln Square as part butcher counter, part European grocery. The shop makes more than 40 varieties of natural wood-smoked sausage in-house, alongside a full delicatessen stocked with imported cheeses, cured meats, fresh produce, dairy, and a bakery.

The business extends beyond the counter with a rooftop bar sitting above the shop. Around holidays, the deli builds out seasonal offerings — smoked hams and made-to-order turkeys among them.

It's known locally as a source for quality meat and hard-to-find European imports, the kind of spot regulars stock up at rather than just visit once.
