"New York City’s best barbecue is in Red Hook, where the perfume of smoked animal fat wafts beyond the entrance. Served from a counter on butcher paper in the warehouse-like setting, meat offerings at Hometown including the fast-selling lamb belly and a standout brisket that can also be tucked into a roll for a sandwich. Lines tend to be long, especially when the weather’s nice, but the music and vibe makes it a party just waiting for food with a beer in hand." - Eater Staff
