My wishlist for where to eat in New York is probably long enough to reach the moon (ok, I may be exaggerating) but I am rather proud of myself to have visited three spots on that list within the first day of my arrival of the Big Apple and l only got there in the early afternoon.
As Brooklyn is where we’re based for the first two nights of our trip, “Pies n Thighs” was where we hit for our first meal, a late-ish lunch around 2pm.
I ordered the “Fried Chicken Box” which is an odd name since there‘s no box in sight but the chicken was fantastic. Outrageously crispy of skin yet absolutely grease-free, the Southern-style fried chicken was tender and juicy within, and simply but perfectly seasoned.
I found the accompanying biscuit too dry for my liking but the baked beans, my choice of complimentary side, is possibly the best version I’ve eaten so far (will share more in a separate post).
