After many months of renovating the former Merchant's space, Pat and Gina Neely will finally be opening their 1st restaurant in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Pat and Gina host a show called “Down Home with the Neely’s” on a little network that very few people ever tune into known as the Food Network. Their show became the highest-rated series debut in the five-year history of Food Network's “In the Kitchen Weekend Block." Pat and Gina also released their first cookbook. Down Home with the Neely’s (Knopf, 2009), earning a place on The New York Times’ best-seller list.The grand opening of Neely’s Barbecue Parlor is know upon us on July 13, 2011 and unless you seen the massive sign in front of this 1st location stating “Coming Soon” many months ago then you probably will not be able to gain entry to this very coveted event. Reservations have long been booked in advance by over 200 people per night. Perhaps when the publicity subsides and the restaurant reviews release then us "common folk" can actually obtain entry to this long awaited establishment.
Pat Neely opened up his first family barbeque restaurant in Memphis, Tennessee in 1988. Since then several other locations have populated throughout the south as well as a small country store in Nashville airport. In August 2008 they acquired a 2,000-square-foot space in mid-town Memphis coined to be the corporate headquarters for this ever expanding franchise.
The interior, a down-home southern décor as are many of New York’s barbeque restaurants and partitioned into various rooms complete with a den, a porch for outdoor seating, a fireplace. So move over infamous West Harlem famed BBQ joint, "Dinosaur" Neely's is comin' to UES!Let us know if Neely’s Pig Parlor kept you eating high on the hog by commenting on our site and "Ya'll Come Back, Now Ye Heer!"
