Event Description
New Year’s Eve at Dallas BBQ in Times Square
Dallas BBQ does it big all the time. This giant 700 person venue in the heart of New York City’s Times Square brings good old Dallas BBQ favorites to the big apple. While the menu does have some delicious salads, the fun of Dallas BBQ comes when you throw the diet out of the window for the night and indulge in some delicious calories.
The décor matches perfectly with the cuisine and after a few minutes you’ll feel like you’re eating right in the middle of the Texas frontier. Menu favorites include Texas beef short ribs, “famous” Texas crispy wings, and the BBQ special combo. The Dallas BBQ larger than life atmosphere is a great way to spend an evening out with friends, family, or both.
