If eating fatty brisket with a craggly bark on the fifth floor of a building with a view of the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges isn’t up your alley, you better have a damn good reason why (and maybe that reason is you don’t eat meat). Bark Barbecue, which started as a roadside Ozone Park pop-up-turned-Smorgasburg staple, now has a stall on the roof of the Timeout Market in Dumbo, where you can get their black pepper-forward, Texas-style barbecue with slight hints of the pitmaster’s Dominican heritage. Go for both the salty and sweet stuff here, like juicy, smoky brisket with sweet maduros, or some peppery ribs with torta, a cakey Dominican cornbread with a warm spice-infused honey syrup.
