The Food Life: Vol 25 - Memorial Day Edition

It was a hot sunday in NYC. Annual C2D BBQ went down like a dream - after an initial scare of not being able to find a grill, our team scouts found a perfect waterfront location for the festivities. Below is a selection of photos from this event. We do hope you enjoy.

The block is hot. Those who don't take risks don't drink champagne. Or sangria, or beer. Little did we know, but we set up camp next to a off duty po-po. An hour into grillin 6 of his buddies showed up - which didn't stop this wild bunch from continuing to pop cans.

This grill had too much bird shit all around it. Apparently ;)


Jerk and Hot wings.

Vicodeni aka Grill Master. We hired a professional for this event - didn't want to take any chances.

Beer. Despite popular belief, there ARE deli/bodegas on Roosevelt island that sell you some brew. So if you want beer or other provisions but don't have a bike lock - have no fear - bring your bike in.

4 of us cycled over there. Good job everybody.


Lobster.


Sun was cooking us all slowly.


3 attack helicopters. Naturally.

Delicious ribs. Mmmmm.



That's how we do it. Roosevelt island is a lost forgotten gem, only 6 casual miles away from C2D HQ. Grills, ledges, banks, deli with beer, endless grassy hills and happy views.

It Is That Time Of The Year Again

There is something nice about Roosevelt Island.   The calm, the peacefulness, the abandoned buildings, the medical industrial vibe, the large percentage of mental patients that sneak up on you just as the psychadelics you took earlier are kicking in.   Also, they have a lot of grills and a centrally located grocery store that carries everything you need (except the meat you marinated overnight).  I think the liquor store closed down recently so if daddy needs his medicine he might need to bring it with him.

More than likely, depending on where we get a space, we'll be on the north end of the island setting up around 1 oclockish (aka 2).   Call me day of for details or call the C2D hotline -  347-394-7845

You can ride there by entering from Queens, or you can take the F train, or take the Tramway thing that was in that Sylvester Stallone movie from the 80s (Natalie Portman rode it in the movie The Professional too, but wasnt as iconic as Nighthawks).

So come on out and enjoy this overlooked part of the city.
