Click through on the photos for the scoop on this weekend's Summer BBQ Blow Out Block Party at City Winery; the upcoming Crayfish Party at, uh, IKEA; and City Harvest's "The Brooklyn Local" event at the Tobacco Warehouse in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Eat Cetera: City Winery BBQ Blow Out, IKEA Crayfish Fest, City Harvest's Brooklyn Local
<strong>City Winery Summer BBQ Blow Out Festival:</strong> This Saturday <a href="http://www.citywinery.com/">City Winery</a> throws open the doors to its back courtyard for a tantalizing <a href="http://citywinery.com/events/206145">a block party food festival</a>. The food's provided by an A-list roundup of hot chefs; Sam Talbot, for instance, will be doing Charmoula Grilled Mahi Mahi; The Meatball Shop will make spicy lamb sloppy joes; and Momofuku Milk Bar will serve up watermelon & basil ice milk and sweet & salty cucumber ice milk. Perhaps most intriguing is the offering from Dos Toros, which is making a special "slawcamole," which features their guacamole with some mayonnaise, cabbage, pineapple, herbs, and brown sugar. That'll go on top of their slow cooked and grilled pork shoulder taco, marinated in a special habanero BBQ and served on corn tortillas. <br/><br/>Seemingly ubiquitous identical twin hipster DJs Darin & Greg Bresnitz, a.k.a. <a href="http://www.fotpnyc.com/blog/">Finger on the Pulse</a>, provide the sonic vibrations. City Winery sells <a href="http://citywinery.com/events/206145">various types of tickets</a> for this thing; $45 is for general admission tickets that get you ten food servings (one from each chef) from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. $60 gets you all of the above plus two drinks. (There is also a cash bar.) Finally, a $75 "premium" ticket includes admission an hour early, starting at noon. The choice is yours, but whatever you decide, come hungry and ready to dance.<br/><br/><em>155 Varick Street at Vandam</em>
