Flagship Farm, 37-18 Northern Blvd., Long Island City; 3pm-6pm; $90

Jump-start the holiday cookouts with this rooftop farm’s DIY pulled pork dinner. And by DIY we mean, you’ll be grabbing gloves, pulling your own pork and enjoying it all afterwards sans-utensils.

In other words, dainty eaters need not attend.
