Sunday, November 1, is your last chance to stop by Food Square at Madison Square Park, which does not offer the usual kind of food stands found at street festivals across the city. Instead, you’ll find booths from Hill Country Barbecue, Suzette, Viking Danish Cuisine, Wafels & Dinges, Breezy Hill Orchard, and Fatty Crab and its sister, Cabrito. We particularly recommend a savory crepe and thin, crispy frites served up by Troy and Peter at Suzette; their gourmet food might not be cheap (our chicken truffle sausage and fontina cheese crepe with a side of fries ran $15), but it’s mighty good. And BBQ lovers can get hungry by watching a whole pig being roasted on a spit, being prepared for pork buns, sliders, and fatty dogs. While some of the stands will show up at various holiday fairs in Bryant Park, Union Square Park, and Columbus Circle opening in a few weeks, others won’t, so check them out while you can.
