Now in its 16th year, the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party is back this weekend with over 14,000 pounds of ribs, 7,500 pounds of pork, and 3,500 gallons of beer and wine.

Every June, tens of thousands of New Yorkers descend on Madison Square Park in downtown Manhattan for a chance to taste authentic barbecue from an all star cast of pitmasters from across the United States.

The highly anticipated festival will take place on the streets surrounding Madison Square Park. Tickets for block party are still available, with Fast Passes starting at just $125 (including $100 worth of food). You can always simply go for free and pay for food with cash as well.
