The Best BBQ In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"You’re probably going to have to wait an hour in line to get this (mostly) Texas-style barbecue institution in Red Hook, especially on a nice day. Once you make it to the counter, though, the brisket, giant beef rib, and smoked turkey will make you forget you ever stood around. Hometown makes the best barbecue in the city, hands down. If you’re with a group, add some brisket tacos and Jamaican jerk baby back ribs, neither of which are essential but are still pretty great. Plan to visit on a weekend and make a day out of it—a drink at Brooklyn Crab, before or after, is a strong choice." - neha talreja, hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren, will hartman
