I was very underwhelmed with Blue Smoke. I had heard such good things and was excited to finally dine at a nice BBQ place in NYC, of which there are none. Yet upon entering and seeing them selling t-shirts and other souveniers I knew this was not what I was looking for. This is a total tourist trap. The BBQ is quite good and sadly is the best in NYC, but that's not saying much. They told me they stopped serving Fried Green Tomatoes because the prep was too difficult and that their Mac n' Cheese was tops in the city, I'd put it average at best. The meats were very good, the pulled pork was phenomenal. Yet the prices were well beyond reasonable value.
Pros: Pulled Pork
Cons: Prices, Ambience
