Profile

Judging by the riotous red-faced crowd stuffing their maws in the back room of this Hell's Kitchen rib joint, you'd never know New York was such a (purportedly) barbecue-challenged town. Adam Perry Lang, veteran of the estimable rib joints Daniel and Le Cirque, has a fleet of chili-packing pushcarts and is also responsible for the X-rated steaks at Robert's, but this is his home base, the place where he smokes his first-rate Memphis-style ribs. Sides are almost uniformly goopy, if you like that sort of thing, and the pulled pork dry. But the special-order whole hogs and pork butts are full-fledged Falstaffian affairs. Call ahead and prepare to don plastic surgical gloves and bibs. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Pushcart Location

Next lunch break, check out Lang's authentic Texas chili from Daisy May's pushcart on 50th St. between Sixth and Seventh Aves.

Recommended Dishes

Mashed sweet potatoes with brown sugar, $4.50; baked beans with burnt ends, $4.50

The advertising makes this place look much bigger and better then what you will actually experience. There should at least be girls in daisy dukes to give it atmosphere. You are one your own when you order as no one will tell you what to try. Food ws just so so...not real BBQ and the dining area is very small and compact....if you have nothing better to do...try it out....but do not go out of your way for Daisy May.

it is definitely NOT the "Best BBQ in NY".

After seeing Daisy May's featured in Oprah and GMA, I decided to take my parents there when they came to visit from Virginia. BIG MISTAKE. The food had been sitting out for a while and was very dry and tasteless. The only thing respectable about Daisy May's was the sweet tea which came in a Mason Jar and was actually very good.
