Big Apple Barbecue Block Party

More than a dozen smoking rigs will be taking over Madison Square Park for the 10th time. Organized by Danny Meyer's restaurant group, the block party gathers some of the luminaries of American barbecue, including Rodney Scott of Scott's BBQ in South Carolina, and Pat Martin of Tennessee. The handy cut-the-line Fast Passes are sold out, but anyone can still try their luck in the lines. If last year's meat was any indication, this 'cue is worth the wait. Click here for details.
