Best Fried Chicken and Waffles SOUTH of 96th st!
Hi everyone!
I am a very big fan of southern food, especially fried chicken. I know there are a lot of posts about the best fried chicken in NYC and I know that the majority of them are in Harlem. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for where to find the best fried chicken SOUTH of 96 st. More specifically, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get chicken and waffles (together as a meal, not ordered individually) SOUTH of 96 st, regardless of whether it is only served for brunch or at all times.
Thanks very much I know there must be some other chowhounds out there that not only share my passion for this dish but don't always want to travel so far north to get it!!

I believe that Pink Teacup on Grove St. near Bleecker serves fried chicken and waffles. I haven't been there in several years, though, so I can't vouch for its quality.

Pink Teacup is closed right now. Apparently, they are going to reopen in another location close by. When, and if they reopen, do not hesitate to indulge in their smothered chicken.

Love Maroon's fried chicken but I don't believe they serve waffles.

I've had them more than once and they're on the menu: http://maroonsnyc.com/page/o4rr/Brunc...

My bad -- I've never been there for brunch. Are they available for lunch and dinner, too?

Alias on the LES has it for brunch -- it's good but I prefer the fried chicken to be more on the crispy side.
Hip Hop Chow in the East Village does chicken and waffles for brunch, too, but their fried chicken is too greasy for me.

Any other restaurants?

Had the chicken & waffles @Park Ave. Not very god. The restaurant it's self is great over all but that particular dish there is not.

Had the chicken and waffles at Resto last weekend, and wasn't impressed. The chicken (leg and thigh) was soggy and bland, while the gravy was a small step above KFC's! The waffle, on the other hand, was fairly good.

The Weds special at The Smith on 3rd Ave and 11th St is fried chicken with potato waffles. Quite delicious and filling, even if it's not the standard chicken and waffles. Reasonably priced, too.

It's only 2 subway stops beyond your desired area, but I'd recommend Rack & Soul on West 109 off of Broadway.

The fried chicken at Rack & Soul is really good.

Another good source for good fried chicken is Virgils. I go in and get take out (either a half, or whole fried chicken).
