Sunday Pig Roast at Crown Victoria

Pedigreed chefs Jose Ramirez Ruiz (formerly of Isa and Per Se) and John Ratliff (formerly of Anella) take over the backyard of this Williamsburg bar for a whole-pig roast every Sunday in August. Pull up a seat at a picnic table and watch as the heritage hog sizzles; then load a plate with organic swine, roasted vegetables and rice, plus a dessert (such as pineapple flan), for $14. Drinkers can quench their thirst with the bar's 24-tap selection of mostly local craft brews, including Empire and Allagash ($6).
