THE BUTCHER BAR - ASTORIA 

One of summertime's real pleasures is enjoying great barbeque along with the company of family and friends. What could be better than sitting down at a picnic table, under a shady tree, ready to dig into some BBQ just off the grill, accompanied by a side of macaroni salad? Even for those of us who are into a healthy lifestyle, the lure of BBQ chicken, a half rack of ribs or smoked brisket is just too hard to resist. BBQ is an indulgence we deserve, but as with most eating habits only in moderation. After all, backyard barbeques are an all-American tradition. In Astoria and LIC, however, backyards in which to have a barbeque are very hard to come by. Unless of course you are lucky enough to own a home or you rent an apartment in a house with a yard. Otherwise, all you have to do is head over to 37-08 30th Avenue, take your friends along, look at their menu and prepare to enjoy only the finest and freshest cuts of meat.
