Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe: 10 of the Best BBQ Spots in NYC, From Red Hook to Harlem

Real barbecue is a patience game. Brisket that spends half a day in the smoker, ribs that pull clean off the bone, burnt ends caramelized to the edge of reason — you can’t fake any of it, and you definitely can’t rush it. New York spent years being told it wasn’t a barbecue town. That argument is over.

From Red Hook to Harlem, pitmasters across the city are turning out smoked meat that would hold its own anywhere. Here are ten BBQ spots in NYC worth the trip, pulled together by @nycfunevents.
