If you're a barbeque fan (and really who isn't, unless you've managed to contract vegetarianism) and you're in New York there's at least three places you should try:
1) Hill Country: Live music, long communal dining tables that would make a medieval warlord proud, and a Monday all you can eat menu that gets you unlimited pork ribs, bbq chicken, and brisket. The sides are excellent and all dishes pass the "quarter inch layer of grease coating the paper its wrapped in" test.
2) RUB (righteous urban bbq): The first time we tried to go here they were actually out of food. We spent 10 minutes wondering how a restaurant runs out of food before heading over to Hill Country. Anyway, when we came back the next time they did in fact have food, ribs are great, sausage is great, didn't get to try the burnt ends though, which is one of their specialties. Try the fried green tomatoes for an authentic southern blast. Even better than fried green pickles with horseradish.
3) Daisy May's: When I first saw the beef rib, I couldn't believe so many people could actually down the whole thing. Words to describe it are "supermassive" and, if you've tried it, "supermassively delicious." If you include sides with this meal you're definitely capable of swimming across the nearby hudson river, even if you don't know how to swim. Such is the power of cow and dairy.
I've heard Blue Smoke is really good as well, so that should be a future review.
