    Ribs were pretty damn good, fries are amazing, beans were blah. There are much better BBQ places in the city.

    A pretty sterile place but it's midtown so there you have it. No happy hour but Imperial Pints. Between here and Shorty's or Barfly i'd stick with Shorty's.

    Get the Blue Smoke Original Ale. Brewed @ the Brooklyn Brewery and it's excellent.

    The pull pork sandwich is great but not on the menu, it's better than the one they have at Citi Field

    Either go for any of the ribs, or try the Rhapsody In Cue. And after the dinner head downstairs for some live Jazz.

    Disappointing ribs and pulled pork but I'd come back just for the mac & cheese. Also the place was beyond cramped... not the best atmosphere.

    The $11.95 burger is amazing for lunch. Add cheese and bacon for $1 each.

    Go to Blue Smoke. Skip straight to dessert: fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies. Do not eat just one. And skip the guilt, it's worth it!
