I’m going to claim my Southern heritage and sing an ode to iced tea, sweet or unsweet. Check out the 5 iced tea makers at Hill Country, the new BBQ place in the Flat Iron District. I sighed in awe, you just don’t see this kind of thing in NYC.

A little about the place, if you like BBQ and Southern style sides, I highly recommend it. My favorites were the beef ribs, brisket, baked beans and cornbread (pieces are baked individually in pie shaped skillets). Hill Country’s pittmaster Robbie Richter tempted Ellen to have the next BBQ NYC there. There are two floors, the top floor has the BBQ, the downstairs has the bar and music stage. Don’t worry, iced tea is served on both floors, it’s $4 (that’s cheaper than the Lone Star).
