You spelled "and" wrong.  There is neither an "o" nor
an "r" in the word
"and".  When it comes to different types of BBQ the and beat the or
every time.

But there's no need for going to the native locale.  I've had Philly
cheesesteak in Pasadena, CA that was as good as the ones in
Philadelphia, PA.

Of course there's going to be decent BBQ in NYC.  It just isn't a native
food there just like so many other excellent food types available there.
Those unbelievably good BBQ ducks hanging in the window of some places
in Chinatown definitely count as good BBQ and I've had it in Manhattan.
But I've also had the same recipe in the Chinatown near downtown
Chicago and it's just as good here.

Better still pastrami.  And some of that native recipe clam chowder
with the assorted veggies in it. Fabulous.
