What you're paying for

Wholesale meat in NYC is quoted by the case and compared per pound — that per-pound rate is the cleanest way to line up suppliers and pack sizes. What you pay tracks the cut, the USDA grade (Choice, Prime and branded programs like Certified Angus run higher) and how much trim you're getting.

The yearlong trend has been easing.

Keeping your food cost in range

Most NYC kitchens run a food cost of 28–35% of menu price. Track the per-pound cost on your top cuts and price the menu against it — that's the simplest way to hold margin as wholesale rates move.

Buy the whole boneless eye to cut consistent steaks cheaper than pre-portioned — count on some end trim. Choice marbling is the sweet spot for cost vs. flavor; let cryovac age a week or two cold for tenderness.
