BBQ, Big Apple style
The enormously popular Big Apple Barbecue Block Party hits Madison Square Park on June 9th and 10th (noon–6 PM), with BBQ from 13 of the nation's top pitmasters and live jazz, blues and bluegrass. Those who don't want to spend the day on torturously long lines may wish to secure one of the limited number of Bubba FastPasses ($100 each), now on sale at www.bigapplebbq.org.
