The Lot on Tap! (and The Rink!)

At the northern end of the waaaay cool High Line in NYC (30th Street and 10th Avenue) you will find these things:  A skate park, a beer garden, craft beer on tap, craft WINE on tap.... and TACO TRUCKS!  Surely, this is heaven?  Nope.  It's the High Line Skate Park, featuring The Lot on Tap.  Playtime for grown-ups!

No cash please, buy your drink tickets at the door.

Woo hoo!

The new Hotness - wine on tap!

Beer.  Taco Trucks.  NYC is the coolest.  Check the website for each day's listing of events, and the list of taco trucks that will be parked that day.  Variety.  Myeah.

Roberta's Pizza!!

Communicator Guy here - In a true dash of Kismet, by a wonderful, strange coincidence, I'm in this fantastic place, which features great local food, wine, & some fine local brews on tap. AND, the Heritage Radio Network is in an adjacent building, where we will be appearing tomorrow, on Beer Sessions Radio! Life is good, Happy Hour Nation. Life is good.

A few parting shots...

Artsy guy here!  Wow.  What a day it was at Cookout NYC!  Here are a few more photos from the festivities...

People and flames!Mama's making little burgers, and the tunes are jammin'!Lady Liberty.Again, make it a point to get to this event next year.  Truly amazing!  And even beyond this event, Governor's Island is a great place to visit on a summer weekend's day.  The ferry is free.  You can bring a picnic and rent bikes.  Check out their site for their calendar of events.  That's what's HOPpenin', y'all!

Still Cookin'!

Artsy Guy again! Okay, here in the middle of the East River, the first food coma has set in. We've had pork belly, buffalo tongue, and shaved ice with fruity pebbles. Now it's time to pull up a patch o' grass an prep for another raid on the meat lockers. Here are a few shots.

Oh boy! Cookout NYC!!

Artsy Guy here. Communicator Guy gave you the deets on our adventure here on Governor's Island. Sheesh! What a day! Here are a few shots. Make this annual event a priority. Cookout NYC!
