Big Apple Barbecue Block Party - June 11 & 12
The 3rd Annual Big Apple Barbecue Block Party is set to fire up along Madison Square Park on Saturday and Sunday June 11 and 12.
Since the crowds grew from 5,000 to 50,000 in the first two years, more food has been added for this year, according to the New York Times.
What do you get when New York City does Barbecue? In addition to the food, you get suggestions on wine pairings, a documentary film, and seminars featuring not only the cooks, but writers from the Wall Street Journal, food web sites, and Dan Rather.
On the menu:
Brisket with sausage and beans - Southside Market & BBQ, Elgin TX
Kansas City spare ribs with dill pickles - Blue Smoke, NYC

The Big Apple Barbecue Block Party runs June 11 and 12, noon to 6 p.m. along Madison Avenue from 23rd to 26th streets.
