Unfortunately it's insanely cold so I can't trek too far. Any ideas? Wed Jan 14 08:22:22 -0800 2009 14598 waxyjax 1 4325434 Dirty Bird on 204 w 14th streeet is probably your best bet.

Wed Jan 14 10:18:22 -0800 2009 4325208 155729 sloane 2 4326342 ended up at chat n chew since it was close to the office and is usually pretty quick. today, it was unusually slow and the chicken was meh--not that crispy. still did the trick though. will have to try the other places sometime Wed Jan 14 13:07:20 -0800 2009 4325665 14598 waxyjax 3 4326932 The Redhead is nearby, and I heard it's AMAZING!

Wed Jan 14 18:13:20 -0800 2009 4325208 10216 Lucia 1 4329589 haha. popeye's for real. Thu Jan 15 12:38:42 -0800 2009 4325208 12656 bigjeff 1 4330263 Birdie's on like 8th & 1st is worth the hike. It's gotten mixed reviews on here, but it's some of the best fried chicken I've had in the city. It's pricey though. Thu Jan 15 16:07:14 -0800 2009 4325208 212717 chet steadman 2 4330785 Has the price at Birdies changed? About $6 for 3 pieces, no? That's basically what Popeye's charges. Thu Jan 15 19:59:27 -0800 2009 4330263 10195 KTinNYC 3 4330862 Well, I split an 8 piece, mac n cheese, and a half order of biscuits, and--if I recall correctly--it ran us a little over 30 after tip. Granted, the portions were pretty big and the quality was far superior, but this place is well more expensive than Popeye's, counting sides. Thu Jan 15 20:48:10 -0800 2009 4330785 212717 chet steadman 4 4330889 Wow, that is pretty pricey. I live really close to Birdies and I don't eat there often because I'm not a fan of the chicken. It's a style that isn't to my liking. It's basically a shaking of seasoned salt on to chicken and simply battered and fried. I like my chicken marinated overnight for maximum flavor and I like heartier crust but I never thought price was an issue. I'll swing by to check out prices again. Thu Jan 15 21:06:21 -0800 2009 4330862 10195 KTinNYC 1 4330497 Not traditional fried chicken, and I see you've already eaten it, but I'm a big fan of the chicken schnitzel at Pita Joe's at 14th and 5th. I like to get it over salad (instead of the sandwich) with the tomato/cucumber salad and the beet salad.
