Blue Smoke serves New York City’s original barbecue, inspired by the South and updated for the dynamic city we call home. Named for the curl of smoke that rises from the pit, Blue Smoke cooks up soulful barbecue and sides like Texas Beef Brisket, Chipotle Chicken Wings, and Buttermilk Biscuits. We are located in Battery Park City with an outpost at Citi Field.
