Virgil's Real BBQ - NYC

Theater District

Don't let the Times Square address fool you: Virgil's has been serving legit Southern barbecue since 1994, with smoky brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs, and wings that could convert the skeptical. The two-story space bustles with families and pre-theater crowds digging into heaping platters of pulled pork, hush puppies, and mac and cheese.

This is how you do happy hour in Times Square. Cold pints, smoky Texas BBQ, and a welcome dose of Lone Star attitude in the heart of tourist central. The Pulled Pork Sandwich alone is worth the trip uptown.
