If you love barbeque food you need to check out Dinosaur Bar-B-Que in Harlem, New York. We went on our first night in New York and it didn't disappoint. The menu is firmly rooted in the traditions of southern barbecue. We'd actually booked to go here before we even arrived in New York. Charlie had done some research into restaurants and stumbled across it on trip advisor. It's rated a 4.5 and is number 59 of 9,431 restaurants in New York City so we had to try it out. I'd recommend booking a table as when we arrived it was super busy!
There are a number of locations for this restaurant but the one we went to is based in Harlem. We travelled from our hotel (near Times Square) on the subway. Nearly everyone i've said that too has been like "OMG you got on the subway and went to Harlem!"...Yes we did, and I felt totally safe the entire time. Is that weird? I don't think it is. It took us about 30 mins door to door.
When we got inside the restaurant it was buzzing. Lots of locals, families and groups of friends all enjoying the atmosphere and eating delicious barbecue food. Our table wasn't quite ready so we went for a drink at the bar first. When we got seated we ordered our food, we knew that portion sizes were usually big in the US so we decided to order some chicken wings to start and then had 1/4 rack of ribs with two sides each. Food was delicious, service was great and it was really reasonable with the bill coming to around $60 including beers and service charge.
After the dinner we headed on the subway back to times square to get to our hotel. I'd really recommend visiting Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, I'm sure we'll be back again.
