I go to Virgil's for lunch almost every day. They have very good stuff.
(44th and Bdway).

Daisy May is also good. They have a cart on 51st and 6th Ave. (if you
go to their place at 11th Ave, be wary of the racial diversity in the
area)

BBQ is HOT in NYC right now and you can't say that it's all bad. The
main problem is that to have a real wood smoker you need an expensive
scrubber or be lucky enough to inherit an existing pit somewhere in
Queens. To me, this is total bullshit. After breathing bus/truck fumes
all day in Times Square, I would find wood smoke quite refreshing!

Enjoy NYC!
