Paulina Market is a full-service butcher shop and grocery on N. Lincoln Ave in Lake View, built around a case of fresh meat and seafood alongside house-made sausages, smoked meats, and deli items. The sausage lineup alone runs past 40 varieties, from bratwurst and chorizo to Ćevapčići and blood rings, plus Swedish specialty items, spiral-cut ham, and summer sausage that regulars stock up on around the holidays.
Beyond the counter, the shop sells homemade soups and entrees, sub sandwiches and salads, and a grocery section of artisanal cheeses, breads, pickled vegetables, and spices, making it as much a one-stop pantry shop as a butcher counter. The staff's product knowledge and the range of hard-to-find cuts and specialty items have made it a fixture for people who take their meat seriously.
