The Piggy Bank Restaurant
‘The Piggy Bank’ would seem like an appropriate name for a barbeque restaurant, and it happens to already be taken. In Beacon, New York an old bank building was eventually adapted to become a popular barbeque diner. What is most notable about the restaurant’s structure is the authentic bank vault that remains behind the bar; the vault is now used as the wine cellar. In renovating the building, the owners decided to also include an open kitchen design that now allows customers to view the authentic Piggy Bank smoker at work. The restaurant boasts it’s southern knowledge of “Real Q” (slow cooked pork made over smoldering hardwood at low heat), but not having tried it (yet), we can at least compliment the restaurant on it’s name for now. Please visit The Piggy Bank’s website to see their menu and directions.
