Blue Smoke

Kick off a meal at Danny Meyer’s original BBQ joint with North Carolina salt peanuts—a fun finger food for all ages, then let the tots choose a main course (including the literally finger-licking Memphis baby backs), a side, a dessert and a beverage from the children’s menu for $11. Parents won’t have to settle for bland menu options here, with items like spicy seven pepper–rubbed brisket ($20) and smoky pulled pork shoulder ($20) on offer, smoked in the “Old Hickory” pits on-site.
