Normally when we find a barbecue place that we like it’s in a hard to reach small town. Then we rave about these meals to our friends, which often leaves them feeling envious. Fortunately, our College Point Crawls now allow us to bring our friends to a not so far-flung barbecue find.

We have been sponsoring an annual pub crawl in the very-hard-to-reach neighborhood of College Point, Queens since 2006. In 2011, a skeleton crew kept the tradition alive while sampling some increased Chinese influences in the neighborhood.
