Texpats go to the Feast of San Gennaro
Mulberry Street Bar, 176 Mulberry Street, New York, NY, USThe Feast of San Gennaro is a highlight of the year for New York's Little Italy.
And since Naples is basically the Texas of Italy, we're crashing the party.
We're trading brisket for bolognese and making our way to the festival at Mulberry Street Bar, then rolling into the fair together for a night of Italian swagger, street-fair spectacle, and Southern Italian charm with a Lone Star twist.
The festival was first celebrated in 1926, when immigrants from Naples congregated along Mulberry Street in Little Italy to continue the Italian tradition of celebrating their patron Saint Januarius.
Naples may be south of the border in Italy, but it’s got the same big-hearted energy as Texas: proud traditions, strong opinions, bold flavors, and a serious love of feeding a crowd.

Texpats BBQ Brunch at the new Kirbee's in Greenpoint
Kirbee's, 55 McGuinness Boulevard South, Kings County, NY, USTwo of the best pitmasters in Texas are opening a barbecue joint in Greenpoint, and we're getting in the door early.
The owners of Goldee's in Fort Worth (ranked No. 1 on Texas Monthly's barbecue list) and Barbs B Q in Lockhart (a James Beard finalist) have decided that New York City is the next great food frontier.
They're calling the place Kirbee's, named after the hungry pink video game character. 👻
The experience works like real Texas barbecue:
- line up
- order at the window
- pick up your plate
- go find a table
We can expect flavors of South Texas (lime-zested ribs, Mexican-spiced brisket, charro beans, and green spaghetti IYKYK) and traditional classics (brisket, ribs, turkey, potato salad, coleslaw).
This is the barbecue we miss from back home, made in Brooklyn by people who know what they're doing.
We'll arrive around 1pm and get started on our first plate. Rumor has it there's a brewery not too far away where we can grab a cold drink after the BBQ feast. 🍻

Texpats Happy Hour at Cowgirl
Cowgirl, 519 Hudson St, New York, NY, USIt's time for another famous Texpats happy hour! This time we'll be back at Cowgirl in the West Village.
Fall in New York has a lot going on, but we don't want to forget our true Texpats heritage: meeting up to enjoy Shiner and margaritas while lamenting the absence of proper southern vittles in the city.
Join us for a Texas happy hour at Cowgirl. Inspired by the iconic Cowgirl Hall of Fame Museum in Hereford, Texas, this lively spot became one of the first true Country Western locations in NYC when it opened its doors in 1989.
It'll be a good ol' Texas hootenanny! We'll start arriving at 6:00 PM and have ourselves a great evening.

Texpats Christmas Dinner at Good Time Country Buffet
Good Time Country Buffet, 166 1st Avenue, New York, NY, USY'all, we're closing out the year with something new: an all-you-can-eat holiday dinner at Good Time Country Buffet. 🎄
It's a straight-up recreation of the country buffets that used to be everywhere in the south, right down to the carpet on the floor and the mismatched wallpaper patched in over the years.
But this ain't your average Sizzler. Get ready for a festive spread of double-fried buttermilk chicken, rib tips simmered in barbecue sauce, collard greens braised in bacon-chicken stock, and a 3-cheese mac & cheese.
Can't fit it all? Grab a plate and go back for seconds, thirds, and fourths.
Trade the boring ham and in-laws back home for fried chicken, rib tips, and fellow Texans here in the big city.
Come hungry and ready to grab too many plates the way you did as a kid. 🍽️
