Empire Market... well, if that name doesn't conjure up delicious, fresh, homemade, German style hot dogs, sausages, cold cuts and dozens of other goodies, it will soon! You must stop by and see what thousands of people have known since 1921. Empire Market is a rare gem in NYC!! We have been in the same location for 100 years!. 3 generations of Lepine Family smiles and great food. Grandpa Lepine worked here for 54 years... he stood by everything he sold... and now, we have Mike, Pat and their 2 sons, Michael and John, and their cousin, Dustin, who follow his motto to this day! Everything at Empire is made by hand and completely gluten free. There's a smokehouse in the back and the kitchen is always buzzing. While you are here, check out our, always expanding, selection of imported European groceries, high end American groceries and a selection of loose candy in glass jars that has to be seen to be believed! ... Please stop in and say hello... hmmm, maybe tonight for dinner you can have Smoked Pork Chops with a side of Red Cabbage or juicy Bratwurst and homemade German Spaetzle?! Think about that for a second.... oh, man!
