Best place to get kielbasa via SEPTA?

Submitted by _crapitalism t3_102aayd in philadelphia

I know the obvious choice is in Port Richmond, but without a car, and with weather crappy enough that I don't feel comfortable biking, I just don't really wanna make that trip today. Anybody have some recommendations for a place that's easy to get to from West? Wanna make some for breakfast later this week. Thanks!

Martin's Meat & Sausage in RTM is my go-to for the finest sausages of all varieties and is extremely accessible via SEPTA.

Martin’s had one type off fresh kielbasa and one type of smoked when I went last week (I was in the same boat: looking for kielbasa and not wanting to drive).

I bought the fresh stuff - it was good.

Just bought some Turkey kielbasa from them this past weekend for a pork-free gumbo. Usually turkey kielbasa is not great — this was fantastic.

Is Martin's better than Halteman's? I've always give to Halteman's but not for any particular reason.

I should have clarified, I was looking for some to bring home and cook later on in the week, but that's good to know!

When they’re at the farmers market at Headhouse, they sell kielbasa that still needs to be cooked.

Czerw’s is a block from Richmond Westmoreland loop at the east end of the 15.

This won’t help you today, but if you want to try in the future, Rieker’s (https://riekersmeats.com/ )is within walking distance from the Fox Chase stop on regional and is really good imo (it’s a German butcher shop but carries kielbasa too). Excellent bacon and munchener brats, potato salad. If you time it right (in and out in like 15 minutes), you can make the train back in the city (else you may be there an hour+). I go in the morning when they open.

If you don't time it right and don't want to sit around waiting, you could also jump on the 18 and take that to Broad and Olney and transfer to the subway.

Yeah I wouldn't recommend the Broad and Olney stop to anyone.

it's possible, it'd just be an hour each way from where I am in west, which is more time than I really wanna spend buying just 1 thing today.

I'm going to get blasted with down votes, but Aldi actually has good kielbasa.

The fuck you want to leave the house for (and use public transit of all things)?

Mercato or Wild Fork.

ZipCar as a last ditch alternative.
