Pik Nik BBQ

Hudson Valley Barbecue Restaurants: Where to Go and What to Order | Eater NY

"Situated on a sloping street down to the water in Tarrytown with baskets of flowers and outdoor tables, Pik Nik surprised me: a glass case of bright salads (red radishes in pink pickle, kale and apple, roasted Brussels sprouts, cucumber and fennel) and chalkboard specials that felt unlikely for a barbecue, yet the three-meat special delighted us — St. Louis ribs nicely charred and easy to pull apart, brisket rimmed with fat, and best of all a housemade long red sausage nearly devoid of seasoning save salt and smoke — and we loved the mango and cucumber salad and the sauces (one mustard-based) that weren’t cloyingly sweet." - Robert Sietsema
