The NYC BBQ Tour follows Manhattan's 'Barbecue Trail' located in the historic Flatiron district.  The tour meets in Madison Square Park approximately 100 feet from the corner of Madison & 26th Street in front of the statue of Chester Alan Arthur, the 21st president of the United States.

All stops include a selection of barbecue and sides selected by the chef of the host restaurant as well as soft drinks.  Alcoholic beverages, ranging from a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon to a magnum of Dom Perignon, are available for purchase at all locations.  The tour is approximately three hours in length.

Considered by many to be a temple to the art of barbecue, Blue Smoke offers a selection of regional barbecue styles from across the country including St. Louis, Kansas City, Memphis, North Carolina and Texas, along with other Southern and regional American specialties.  Enjoy hot barbecue upstairs and cool jazz downstairs!  As part of Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group, Blue Smoke has consistently been rated as one of the top barbecue restaurants in the country.

Rodeo Bar & Grill has its barbecue flown in from the legendary Black's Barbecue of Lockhart, Texas, owned and operated by the Black family since 1932!  Known for its eclectic decor, Rodeo Bar has a stuffed buffalo ( an entire one, not just the head!) displayed as well as a former school bus which serves as a bar.  Rodeo Bar features live 'americana' (aka countrybluesfolkrockreggaebluegrassswingzydecojazz) music virtually every evening.

Known for its North Carolina style barbecue, the Hog Pit is the coziest of all our stops.  Featuring a decidedly rock-n-roll vibe, Hog Pit was one of the pioneering restaurants in Manhattan's meat packing district in the 90's.  Enjoy the fried pickles!

Built as a shrine to the flavors & traditions of Texas hill country barbecue, Hill Country is so authentic that even the oak wood for its smoker is imported from Texas.  Hill Country has won numerous awards for its barbecue including "Top 10 Barbecue In The US" by the Wall Street Journal & "Best Barbecue" by Time Out New York.  In keeping with its motto of 'music to your mouth', Hill Country offers live country music most nights of the week.
