Harlem Bespoke: Those thinking about a great place to celebrate all the dad’s out there should consider Dinosaur Bar-B-Que on 125th Street by 12th Avenue. Grilling is popular during the summer but the difference with Dino BBQ is that all of the meats are pit-smoked for 14 hours before finally finishing things off with a glaze on high heat. Even with so many wing joints opening up in Harlem in 2015, nothing will probably be able to match the smokey flavor of one of the city’s best BBQ spots located in Manhattanville. We also especially love the brisket and ribs along with a side of fried green tomatoes. There is usually a wait for a seat but this is one place that is definitely worth it.
In the challenge, teams race around Central Park for an immersive puzzle adventure, finding clues throughout the park, while learning secrets and little-known history about the well-known space. At the end, teams will enjoy a picnic provided by the Great Gotham Challenge. Part trivia competition, part relay, this event combines teams’ savviness of New York food, live theater, history, plus embedded technology to create an unforgettable experience.
Teams of two to four people can compete. To succeed, teams will need to break codes, solve riddles, and Google some interactive clues to help win the challenge.
All teams meet near Central Park’s Bethesda Fountain (the exact location revealed the day prior to the event) for the race to kick off and all ages are welcome. The challenge requires participants to walk at least two miles, and some stairs are also on the route. The events lasts 3-5 hours, depending on how quickly teams solve the clues and make it to the finish line.
Teams must be fully formed before participating, but you’ll meet and mingle with competitors before and after the race. The first Great Gotham Challenge kicks off on Saturday, June 10 with starting times ranging from 1pm – 2:30pm, though some slots are filled out, as space is limited. Tickets are $199.
