The people of New York City are about to set their sights on a whole lot of bacon since the International Bacon Film Festival is about to kick off. While not everyone will get the chance to see the short films dedicated to the favorite meat of many, these resources will allow you to have yourself a little bacon party, New York City resident or not.

It seems only fitting that with the bacon overload there be some bacon cocktails to spice things up. While some of them may be out of the ordinary, others downright ridiculous. Check out these creative concoctions ... you may be begging your bartender to throw in a little something extra next time.
