Fodor's Expert Review Blue Smoke

A welcome addition to the Battery Park City dining scene, Blue Smoke is easily one of NYC's most satisfying barbecue joints. (We'd expect nothing less from famed restaurateur Danny Meyer.) Count on delectable brisket, ribs, fried chicken, and hearty sides to satisfy your carnivorous cravings, and don't miss the tender Alabama white wings, sauced with a blend of mayo and miso for the perfect tangy umami flavor. The dining room is urban-rustic and can get a bit noisy, especially when the neighborhood's after-work crowd files in, but the genial team is sure to keep you happy and full.
