Big Apple Barbecue Block Party

Madison Square Park heats up with this annual carnivore convention. Top pit masters from across the country–Baker's Ribs in Dalls, TX; Rodney Scott's Whole Hog BBQ in Charleston, SC–and local joints like Dinosaur Bar-B-Que and Hometown Barb-B-Que will dish out wood-fired creations. Seminars, cooking demos and live music round out the festivities.
