New Yorkers are notoriously fickle, trend-obsessed diners. One week it's all about Korean fusion, the next it's oysters on the half shell, and let's not forget 2009, the Year of Fried Chicken. But Gotham's city-wide obsession with all things barbecue has stood the test of time, launching countless smoke joints and educating scores of Yankees on the infinite varieties of cole slaw. Fette Sau, which is German for "fat pig," is a smoke-scented, coolly industrial barbecue joint in Williamsburg. Its sliced brisket, snappy sausages and long beer list is favored by a democratic crew of local twenty- and thirtysomethings, as well as hard-drinking craft beer fans and multigenerational local families. On warm days, the open-air space also has popular outdoor tables, where Wayfarer-wearing Brooklynites while away the days, sipping brews and inevitably sauntering back over to the barbecue stations for seconds (or thirds).
