Back at the beginning of this month my husband and I went to the annual
Big Apple BBQ. We had a great time, even though the temperature was into triple digits. The BBQ was held in Madison Square Park which kind of made it a bit odd chowing down on barbecued ribs, listening to country bands, and sipping on a beer in the middle of the city. Needless to say we had a great time.
Here's a Madison Square Park fountain...I just like fountains:

And a picture of the beautiful green park:

One of the many talented bands that played:

I loved seeing people wear little pig ears:

The oddity of a BBQ in the city:

They even had a band playing under these arches with a temporary packed bar of people drinking and dancing:

And here's the man cooking up the ribs. We felt sorry for him because it must have been unbearably hot for him next to the grill:

And finally the happy (full-bellied) couple:

We'll see you there next year!
P.S. The best BBQ was from Texas and Mississippi. I won't tell you what we thought of the stuff from Connecticut :P
How fun! I love street (and park) parties! I do think we happen to have the best BBQ around ;)
