It takes big balls to lay it all on the line for “best meatball in NYC” bragging rights. This year, Williamsburg native Gennaro Virtuoso of Lorimer Market will square off against Greenpoint newcomer River Styx, while return contestants Mile End and Brooklyn Star are more determined than ever to take home the trophy.

We’ll also try meatballs from first-time competitors Martha, Saltie, Briskettown, and a collaborative entry from the brains behind Brooklyn Brewery and Jackson & Humboldt. Come vote on your favorite balls, which will be served with SheWolf bakery bread, Brooklyn Brewery beer, and Liddabit Sweets.
