BEDFORD-STUYVESANT — Get some beats with your eats this Memorial Day.
Organizers of an annual backyard Bed-Stuy Memorial Day party are returning for a third year to offer a three-course prix fixe meal, drinks and music from a local DJ crew.
The third annual Rub-a-Grub barbecue is an eight-hour party organized by Bed-Stuy restaurant Do or Dine and local party promoters and DJs Sound Liberation Front.
This year's event, in Do or Dine's backyard at 1108 Bedford Ave., also features sets from I Love Vinyl, an all-vinyl DJ group that holds monthly parties at Le Poisson Rouge in the West Village and TBA Brooklyn in Williamsburg.
Last year's party included sets from A Tribe Called Quest DJ Ali Shaheed Muhammed.
Each set is coupled with one food course from Do or Dine chef Justin Warner.
The menu this year features fried dumpling "Nippon nachos," shishito peppers and a foie gras donut; lamb breast, Dr. Pepper-glazed frog legs and octopus deviled eggs; and pulled pork, miso grilled corn and mini vegan chimichangas.
All three courses are paired with drinks, including gin and yuzu bloody Marys and mimosas for course one and a beer and shot combo for course two. Drinks for course three have not been finalized, Warner said, but last year's third course featured wine from Robert Mondavi Private Selection.
Rub-a-Grub is May 25 at 2 p.m. in the backyard of Do or Dine at 1108 Bedford Ave. Advanced tickets start at $15. V.I.P. tickets, which include two food items and two drinks, go for $30.
