Marrow’s New Birmingham Butcher Shop Is Opening Just in Time for the Holiday Season

Just in time for holiday season, Marrow is unveiling its second neighborhood butcher shop in December at 283 Hamilton Row in Birmingham. The 1,400-square-foot space includes a retail butcher counter selling aged steaks, deli meats, a selection of wine and gourmet sundries, and Marrow’s line of packaged sausages. The property also features limited cafe seating along with a breakfast and lunch menu of hot sandwiches like meatball subs, banh mi-style veggie sandwiches, a seasonal selection of salads, soups, and other savory snacks designed by Marrow’s executive chef and partner Sarah Welch. In a news released issued Thursday, November 7, Marrow CEO and founder Ping Ho said that her team has been popping up at the Birmingham Farmer’s Market each Sunday. “We aim to be a neighborhood staple where people can enjoy a delicious meal and conveniently shop for high-quality, locally sourced meats, with the same quality of our flagship Detroit location,” Ho says in the release. Coinciding with the opening, customers can pick up take-home Thanksgiving orders at both the Birmingham location and Marrow’s original West Village spot in on November 26 and 27. Customers can place online orders for locally-raised organic turkey, glazed ham, standing rib roast, Sabbath Farm Beijing duck, plus all the fixings and sides. In addition to the Birmingham opening, Marrow is gearing up for construction this coming spring of the former Capital Poultry building at 2442 Riopelle Street in Eastern Market. The space will include a two-story, 14,000-square-foot restaurant and bar.
