Blue Smoke two locations who knows BBQ treats and thangs. Flatiron and Battery Park http://www.bluesmoke.com/ 255 Vesey Street 212-889-2005 (the location I went too) The atmosphere is live and exciting. I enjoy the open side entrance attached to the outdoor seating. Its been an eventful Friday with HUGE work parties, family's hanging out. I was going to just explore and unwind with some tasty food and drinks. I spoke to the helpful bartender Blood orange margarita to start the night off, then an appetizer; toasted raviolis. I just found out that  after 12+ years Executive Chef left and know it's John Paul ..... He is now 6 months in, getting his feet wet and brewing up the next menu into what we shall know as blue smoke's "last name". In fact I'm very curious to check the new menu out. Items currently on the menu; deviled eggs, fry  bread, and the famous warm BBQ chips. Alright, I have came back for Restaurant Week. In the photo

I ended up getting the basic pancake, bacon, and eggs combo which is a whooping 10.00 bucks (only in jersey are prices these great), especially for the amount of food you receive. The pancakes (my mouth is watering talking about it) are delicious. Cooked to perfection and really flavorful. They syrup adds a flavor that really evolves the two ingredients to continue taking another bite. They are served with four fluffy, lite, and not to battery packThe eggs and bacon were tasty and crisp just how I like it. The coffee
