When you say barbecue, Southerners think of meltingly tender meat that has been slowly cooked in an outdoor pit. In New York City, food prepared in this style is understandably hard to find, but Pearson's (located in the back of Legends Sports Bar) is the real deal. In addition to Texas-style beef brisket, there are chicken, pork shoulder, beef ribs, and other barbecued items, all at reasonable prices. Reservations are taken for parties of six or more.
