New York City BBQ
 
Will be in NY next week. Have been to Blue Smoke and have heard that
Dinosaur has opened in Harem. I've had their hot sauce, which really isn't
hot, but it is tasty. Any reveiws of the new places opening in NY?



eelhc 12-07-2005 02:33 PM

Not exactly new but check out Daisy May's (more of a take out place):

http://www.gothamist.com/archives/20...ys_bbq_usa.php

Too bad you missed the Big Apple BBQ Block party (last Month)

http://www.gothamist.com/archives/20...lock_party.php

But why would you travel to NYC and go for Barbecue? It'd be like me
traveling to the carolinas or Texas for Italian/Chinese/other ethnic
food.

I enjoy BBQ foods. I also enjoy tasting different foods in different places.
NY is full of different foods Chinese, Thai, Mex (most owned by Chinese
now), Ethiopian... BBQ is fairly new to NY, so I want to give them a try.
With the level of competition and critics there, they are likely to do what
they do well or quickly be eliminated. New Yorkers may often be seen as
thinking of themselves as being better than the rest of us, but I tend to
think that they are just perfectionists.

Florida doesn't realy have it's own BBQ as Texas, Tenn, Carolinas, but we've
kinda picked and choosed from others to make it ours.NY is hopefully not
only the melting pot of the word, but I'm hoping for our own country as
well. Thanks for the links

Well, I do not know what you mean by "other ethnic food", but Texas is
full of it if you look around. If you mean Mexican Texas is a great place
(doh!). Other European kitchens are also well represented like German and
Czech. Any metropol like NYC, San Francisco and even Dallas/Houston will
have great offerings from almost every major cuisines.

Coming to Texas from Europe has opend my eyes to the fact that the state
has much more to offer than Q, Fajitas and 'Ritas.

Do as you please, but NYC is the last place I'd consider BBQ. There are
thousands of good restaurants with foods that you just don't find elsewhere.
I'd take advantage of it. You probably make better bbq in your backyard, so
try Cuban, or oriental, or whatever that you don't have at home. Be sure
to get a good pastrami sandwich on good rye bread. That is a treat.

Amen! If you live in NY, then by all means enjoy NY BBQ. But visiting NYC
and looking for BBQ (especially if you live in FLA and have real BBQ much
closer) would be like going to Memphis and searching out great kosher delis
or sushi. While Memphis has both (and I'm sure there's good BBQ in NYC),
why not spend your time searching out the things that are a real specialty
of the city you're visiting?

Although it isn't BBQ, I have to recommend a quick stop at Papaya King for a
dog and a smoothie...

Saczerac (sp?) in the village has some nice spicy items on their menu as
well.

Too right Ed. Probably because of the extreme competition, even the food
from sidewalk carts is outstanding. Mediocre just doesn't survive in NYC.

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!

Well I never go to NY without a stop at Katz's Deli. Best I've ever had and
I always get my own even though one is easily enough for two. But I just
have to give the Q a try.



eelhc 13-07-2005 09:59 PM

Sorry... didn't mean to mess with Texas.. ;)

I do travel to Austin quite bit and have been to Houston, Dallas and
San Antonio several times. Of course the Mexican is excellent! And
the more traditional European kitchens are well represented (I find a
lot of excellent German restraunts in the upper midwest as well). I
guess what I was referring to was...

Japanese (Sushi, Katsu, Tempura, Sabo Sabo...)
Korean
Thai/Vietnamese
Indian
Carribean, South American
Russian
Kosher (NY Deli's)
Middle Eastern
Ethiopian

Now at the risk of offendin some Texans... I will say that I while
find the Steak to be good... but I still prefer the NYC steakhouses
(Luger's, Old Homestead...). Am I going to the wrong places (Cool
River, Old San Francisco...)?

I have to admit that I haven't had great Ethiopian in Texas. On the other
hand, Ethiopian wasn't so great in Ethiopia either (yes, i've been
there!). And you're probably right, those kitchens are probably better
represented in cities that have had a more differentiated immigration.

Yes, wrong places. For steak in Austin you need to go to Houston's Steak
House. Phenomenal! However, the best steak I have ever gotten in Texas is
at Kloesel's Steak House in Moulton (tiny little town 10 miles south of
I10, 95 miles east of SA). And close by is Shiner, TX, home of one of my
favorite beers.

Being relatively new to TX I haven't found everything yet, but my review
of the greater Dallas area I have found:

Japanese (several including a surprisingly good place in a mall food
court in Sherman)

Korean/Thai/Vietnamese, seen a number of places although I haven't tried
them yet. The "Pei Wei Asian Diner" offshoot of P. F. Chang's has a
pretty broad menu which includes Japanese and Korean type items.

Indian, seen several, been to Clay Pit in Addison several times.

Caribbean, haven't found any restaurants to visit yet, but did find a
legitimate jerk chicken at the state fair so it's got to be around here
somewhere. Central Market carries the Walkerswood products so I stock up
on jerk seasoning there.

Haven't found a Russian or NY Kosher Deli place yet.

Middle Eastern, I'd say Indian qualifies in this area. I also found an
excellent Turkish place (Cafe Istanbul).

No Ethiopian so far, didn't find any in CT where I was previously
either. The only one I've been to was in NYC and it was excellent.

Addison, being the restaurant mecca of the US has many options including
a Fondue place (Melting Pot), a couple Brazilian type places (Fogo de
Chao and Texas de Brazil), a good Mediterranean place (Sambuca),
"Mongolian BBQ" (Genghis Grill) and many more I haven't tried yet.
Addison even has the distinction of a Hooters with about the worst wings
I've ever had (the burger was ok though).

I've never been in it, but I've eaten their food often. My daughter was
working in Manchester and she'd sometimes stop on the way home and pick up
sandwiches. Thanks for the reminder. I've not had any since she moved.

um ... ya. Wrong places, IMHO. My favorite is Austin Land & Cattle, on 12th and
Lamar. I'm under impression most people like Sullivans (wharehouse district)
better ..... but I like Austin Land & Cattle.

What are you trying to say here?

Is racial diversity a bad thing, or are you just not partial to some of the
races that partake at that particular location?

Seems to me, someone in NYC should be pretty tolerant of diversity.

What the OP was trying to politely say, is that certain areas of NYC
can be extremely hazardous to your health if you don't belong there.
It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong or whether you like it or not.
That's the way it is and has been for a very long time.

I lived in Brooklyn 25 years (thank you). When my apartment building
started to get "diverse", the elevator all of a sudden became a rest
room, the walls were covered with graffiti and people were asked to
provide their wallets to strangers they met in the halls.

When my first kid was born, I escaped to New Jersey. My town is one of
those horrible "lilly white" places you read about. We don't lock our
doors, we respect our neighbors, we don't let our kids join gangs or
listen to 50 cent.

Getting back to NYC, the locals know where the safe areas are (although
plenty get mugged on Park Avenue too). Tourists sometimes stray into
wrong areas, so telling them to be on alert has nothing to do with
being racist. Like in any other town, a white person in a black area
can get in trouble just as much as a black in an all white
neighborhood.

I detest all of these ACLU types who frown upon lack of "minority
diversity". Take the D train to 205th street at midnight or else shut
the f- up.

Ok, I'm a Sichy kid from da North Bronx. Back in the late 50's, early 60's,
I hung a lot in Harlem & Spanish Harlem, no problemo. Even then, I avoided
the South Bronx, except for occasional treks to Fox St.

'cause that's the way it is. Like it or not.

Oh yeh, In 1965 I was forced to attend some kind of 'Social Conscientious
training
during my enlistement with the 'World Police Force'. I was presented with
the following: A well dressed black man hailed a taxi a 42nd and broadway in
NYC.
at midnight. When he directed the cabby to 2nd street in the village, the
'white' cabby
refused to take him there. When I pointed out to the instructor that it
would be worth
the cabby's life to go there at that time of night, I was told that, "It's
his job". The
instructor was black, and to this day I am amazed that he could lie like
that with
a straight face.

North side of Rt 30 (435 Hartford Tpke.) set back in the strip mall,
relatively small listing on the sign board at car level by the street.

If you're going to the Big Apple, may I suggest that you skip the BBQ
and instead go to Katz's on Houston St. for a pastrami sandwich - you
can get BBQ anywhere, but ...

You want a New York experience, find what's known as an appetizer store
and get some bagels, pickled herring, smoked sable, lox, sturgeon and a
copy of the Times.

Here's a suggestion that I didn't think of... Although it's not
technically BBQ.

How about Kalbi, Bulgoki and Sam-Gyup-Sal (Three Fat Layer Pork... less
known but awesome!) at a Korean place

Although the best korean is in Queens or Fort Lee, NJ. Kang Suh across
Macy's on Broadway isn't too bad. And it was the only place in
Manhattan that I could recall bringing hot lump right to your table.
You just can't go wrong grilling at your own table over Lump!

Q in the city...You can get good Q almost anywhere these days, why not try
something local?

My recommendations...

Lombardi's (the city = Manhattan) for a real pizza, thin, crisp crust, not
that doughy crap. 6 train downtown from Grand Central to Spring St. 2
blocks east.
Roosevelt Av in Queens from Woodside to Flushing. Take the 7 train out of
Grand Central and start in Woodside and continue through Jackson Hgts and
then Main St, Flushing and enjoy a trip that takes you from Ireland to
India, Phillipines, Colombia, Peru, Korea and China. You won't be sorry.
You can get street food like fire roasted corn and tamales in Jackson Hgts.
Frank's in Chelsea for a steak; damn good and not as pricey as Luger's and
with a good barroom to boot. A train to 14th, a block or so west and 2
blocks uptown.
Astoria for some down home Greek eats - 7 train to Queensboro Plaza, switch
to the N or W up to Ditmars Blvd. There's a really good Czech barroom that
serves good eats right at the bar too. I'll try to remember the name, but
like I said, it's a really good barroom.

BTW, the good Q in the city is in those neighborhoods where those who hate
the NY Times and colored people don't venture to.

I took the 'D' train on the IND up to the end of the line at 205th St.
during the late 50's at midnight and later, Mon thru Fri. Never had a
problem.
