NYC’s 18 Essential Barbecue Restaurants
"Describing itself as Kansas City-style, John Brown BBQ moved into the old location of Mothership Meat Company in Long Island City. The menu is more eclectic than the Kansas City designation suggests, featuring brisket, pulled pork, smoked turkey, and house-cured pastrami. There’s also a beguiling array of invented sandwiches, such as the John Brown Reuben, deploying pastrami along with Swiss cheese and coleslaw. The splendid backyard is another lure." - Robert Sietsema
