John Brown Smokehouse

Yet another entry in our ever-expanding list of recommended barbecue places in New York City is the John Brown Smokehouse. Their restaurant is located on the 37th Avenue, which has blessed the area with its superbly delicious barbecue.

John Brown Smokehouse was named after the abolitionist who fought slavery in Kansas, Texas. Now, John Brown seems to be fighting for the right of good barbecue for every person in New York City. Everything on the menu of John Brown is worth a try. The pork and the lamb sausages are known for their flavor and rich tenderness while their burnt ends are completely incomparable. The atmosphere in the John Brown Smokehouse is also affable, complete with evening music sessions of banjo players that seemingly recreate the atmosphere of the American south.
