I do have to say that it has been very hard to find a good fried chicken stop in the middle of NYC. But I think might have found one. At the end of a long night waiting in line to see a tree lite this place was a welcome suprise. Once you walk in to this place it gives you the feel of a lower east side dive. But don’t let the layout fool you the food here is something to write home about. OK back to the fried chicken that I ordered. The chicken was juicy with a very nice crispy outside, with a very southern after taste. A long side of my dream boat chicken I had a half of plate of any thing but healthy green beans. Trust me this place is not the healthy stop but its worth the extra 2 days at the gym. Live bait it a must stop in NYC.
I have to say, I agree. I grew up in the south and this place has THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN and also CATFISH. Plus, they serve cornbread, instead of bread. A pleasant surprise in the middle of NYC.
