Sarah DiGregorio at The Village Voice's Fork in the Road blog has uncovered an easy alternative for holiday hosts and home-cooks: lechones! Lechones are suckling pigs, whole-roasted over charcoal and the toast of any communal feast. With a week's notice, New Public Meat Market can supply you with your very own 25-pound, crispy baby for $110. 5021 5th Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11220 (at 50th Street; map); 718-871-1188
