Thanks to the soldout-taiwanese fried chicken during lunch, I decided to come here tonight for dinner and got 2 pieces and a biscuit. Best 2.15 I spent all week. The lady was nice enough to cram two spicy thighs into my carton. I like drumsticks too but nothing beats more meat for such a cheap price. I hope they can stay open.

isn’t this another case of “costs of shipping too high in midtown for one location & the landlord is a douche?”

It’s near the NY Times Building, Port Authority and what-not. Maybe their cheap chicken deal was too little, too late. The 1.99 two piece deal is almost a cry of desperation when their chicken is good. Before that, they had the chicken strips deal but doubt anyone was too imrpessed by it?

It’s a weird block; slowly failing fabric stores and scary-looking porn stores and, of course, the comic book store. I’m not surprised restaurants have a tough go of it there.

How about they move the 2 Bros Pizza down there? Better than having to go all the way to 9th Ave/ No Mans Land/ Port Authority’s backyard and should be able to survive any curse due to their cheap cheap prices. :)
