Empire State Building 
The BBQ Festival is fun and all, but really, I don't know...
Ribs from Baker's in St. Louis - they were fine, nothing special in my opinion
A vanilla concrete with caramel sauce, bananas and whipped cream from Shake Shack - definitely special
Flatiron Building
Joe's in the Village - one of the better slices places in Manhattan
I tried Joe's over 5 years ago, before I even moved to New York - now I own this city
