Last week we hit up the BBQ festival in Madison Square park. I had a couple friends in from Connecticut, so what better to do than grab some food and beers, all while rocking out to some good old country and rock?
The food for the most part was great! I ordered up some spicy sausage from Jim and Nick's BBQ hailing from St. Louis. It was full of flavor and spicy. This was a good spicy because even though it was hot there was still a lot of flavor. They also had AMAZING potato salad.
My buddy Matt grabbed a pulled pork sandwich from Dinosaur BBQ, it was good but with so many choices from outside NYC I would have picked another place... Still a solid choice.
The beer selection this year, in my opinion, was pretty beat! Last year they had a bunch of micro brews from all over the country, this year however everything came from Heartland Brewery. That is all well and good but I can walk downstairs and pony up to their bar any time I want, so I would have preferred more choices. There was also a small winery called dancing Bull. They did have some nice wine wine to sample. The Cabernet was not half bad.
After the BBQ fest we hit up the Union Square farmers market and went back to catch the USA vs. England football game at Lillie's. Following a painful tied score we proceed back to my apartment and cooked up some great coconut chicken wraps! All-in-all a GREAT DAY!
