If you want some deeply satisfying food—perhaps when you need something to soak up the remains of your night out—Kori’s Eats should be your go-to spot in Mott Haven. They have many variations on chicken and waffles, so if you want a combo of chicken tenders and bacon-infused waffles with a Fruity Pebbles milkshake on the side, you can get it here. They also have a steam tray filled with things like oxtail, mac and cheese, and some of the best sweet, spicy, fall-apart braised ribs we’ve had. This place is mostly takeout, but there are a few tables if you want to eat in.
