There are a few reasons you shouldn’t wander around the East Village searching for a restaurant wearing a blindfold. First of all, it seems pretty dangerous. Second, it doesn’t make any sense. And third, you’d end up choosing Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken every time. Get within half a block of this 2nd Avenue spot, and you’ll find yourself on the receiving end of a massive pump of chicken tender-scented perfume. And after being drawn in like you heard a siren song in The Odyssey, you’ll find crispy, spiced, juicy fried chicken that tastes as good as it smells. This counter-service spot is open until midnight or later seven days a week, and it’s some of the best post-bar-hopping food in the area.

Sweet Chick

Chicken, waffles, an unpretentious vibe, and communal atmosphere are the things that make us love Sweet Chick.

Review

The Commodore is bad. Bad because merely looking at the food here will jack up your cholesterol thirty points, and worse because everything is so good that you’ll crave it all the time.

Sticky’s Finger Joint is a counter-service spot in Murray Hill where you can get chicken fingers and fries late-night.

This is not a taqueria. This is a temple to the holy Mission burrito. Pray before it, lest you be forsaken.
