BBQ is trending in pop culture -
on TV shows, at festivals and fairs and even on road trip itineraries. BBQ has
become a quintessential American treat, especially around the 4th of July. Some
dare to say that BBQ almost rivals apple pie in popularity! With this thought
in mind, the Seaport Association in Norwalk has cooked up a special BBQ Cruise
on June 30. The boat departs the dock at 5 p.m. and returns at 9 p.m. The
capacity is limited to 49 lucky people (the Coast Guard sets the limit). This
event does require advance reservations so get your tickets early!
The Lighthouse on Sheffield
Island has a long history and is celebrating 150 years making this BBQ Cruise,
the only one of the season, very special. Like the Lighthouse, BBQ has a long
history whose roots go back to Caribbean cooking. In the U.S. there are four
distinct styles of BBQ including Carolina, Texas, Memphis and Kansas City.
These four styles were brought north from the Caribbean by Spanish
conquistadors and then moved westward and beyond by settlers. Along the way, a
few European spices were mixed in, and the techniques modified here and there
resulting in the four basic types of BBQ found here today.
This BBQ Cruise is the
perfect way to get inspired for your July 4th BBQ! The menu for the Sheffield
Island BBQ includes all the classics - pulled pork, BBQ steak, BBQ Chicken,
corn on the cob, tomato salad, orzo salad, three-bean salad, watermelon and
soft drinks. Feel free to BYOB and don't forget your plastic cups! An added
bonus of the Sheffield Island BBQ is that guests dine as the sun sets over Long
Island Sound making for memorable photo opportunities.
It is undeniable that there
is a certain pleasure when the slow-cooked flavors of meat hit the smoke and
the BBQ sauce or rubs - combine that with our BBQ Cruise to Sheffield Island on
June 30 and you are in for a perfect night. For tickets and additional

The
Seaport Association dock is located on 4 North Water Street adjacent to the
Maritime Aquarium IMAX Parking Lot. Parking is available at the adjacent Maritime Garage
