Big Ern's is a little tiny place—it is, after all, in a shipping container—but the flavor of its authentic barbecue is absolutely huge. Don't miss the brisket, which is meltingly tender. The ribs, pulled pork and potato salad are equally good choices. When your food's ready, take your plate to a table near the park's play structure and soak up the sunshine and fresh air. (Note that the Container Park is closed to those under 21 after 9 pm.)
