NYC: Morgan’s Barbecue – Beef Brisket in Brooklyn

Morgan's Barbecue, Brooklyn, New York

Before the JAY-Z concert, we had dinner at Morgan’s Barbecue, which is only a short walk from Barclays Center. When it comes to food in New York, barbecue might not be the first thing you think of, but in recent years several really good barbecue spots have popped up in Brooklyn in particular. Thanks to Leah, I’ve now tried most of them, but I found Morgan’s myself. The food was really good (especially the fatty beef brisket) and Morgan’s Barbecue is a great choice, if you’re looking for a nice meal before heading to a concert in Barclays.

We were supposed to meet with Jessica and Jerrell before the concert, but because of traffic, they were almost 2 hours late, and they only made it to the concert right before it started. After the concert we met outside. I consider myself a big JAY-Z fan, but Jessica’s husband Jerrell is an even bigger fan, so after the concert we were both JAY-Z high and went on and on about how awesome it had been.

The photos in this post aren’t the best because you weren’t allowed to bring cameras to the concert, so I only had my iPhone with me.

Ninja Air Fryer 4-in-1 Pro
$128.99

I’ve had really good experiences with the Ninja air fryers. They're easy to use, the quality feels solid, and the results are consistently great. I’ve had really good experiences with the Ninja air fryers. They’re easy to use, the quality feels solid, and the results are consistently great. I like that you don’t have to fuss around with settings to get good food out of it. Vegetables turn out crisp without drying out, and chicken comes out juicy with a nice golden crust. It’s one of those kitchen gadgets that actually lives up to the hype and ends up being used all the time.

Ninja NC301 CREAMi Ice Cream Maker
$199.95

The Ninja CREAMi is hands down the best ice cream maker I’ve tried. What I really like is the texture. The ice cream comes out so smooth and creamy, better than anything I’ve managed with other machines. It’s also incredibly easy to use: you prep your base, freeze it overnight, and then let the CREAMi do the rest. With several one-touch programs, you can make ice cream, sorbet, gelato, milkshakes, or even smoothie bowls, and the re-spin function lets you make your batch softer if you prefer. You can go all in with decadent gelato, or make lighter, low-sugar or dairy-free versions. You can even add your favorite mix-ins like chocolate, nuts, or fruit to make it your own. It’s a fun, reliable machine that makes experimenting with flavors at home so much more exciting.
