Dirty Bird

Eat in, take out or get it delivered.

204 West 14th St (just West of 7th Ave)
New York, NY 10011
(212) 620-4836

• Peter: Best fried chicken I've had in NY. Good side dishes (brussel sprouts, etc.). The coffee, from Mud NYC, is great when it's fresh, but it isn't always, unfortunately. Nice cookies to bring to the space. Eat in or take out.
• I second that. --Guan 12:24, 30 December 2011 (EST)

Sausage, Inc.

106 University Place (between 12th and 13th)
New York, NY 10003-4508
(212) 414-4344

• Peter: "Artisan sausages" on a pretzel bun -- meaning a bun made of soft-pretzel dough. With grilled onions. They have a turkey and even a vegetarian variety, in addition to several beef and pork varieties. Condiments are available at a modest price: sauerkraut, cole slaw, pickles, etc. They have french fries, and also a tracle peanut butter panna cotta that to me sounds utterly disgusting, but YMMV.

Whole Green

7th Ave bet 12th and 13th Whole Green

• Dave: Tiny Hole-in-the-wall juice bar that makes great $3-5 sandwiches and wraps to be found in the similarly tiny fridge. Closes early evening though so get it early.

Westville

http://westvillenyc.com 246 West 18th Street, New York, NY 10011 (bet 7th & 8th) (212) 924-2223

• Dave: Excellent 'real' food, great veggies and grilled meats. May not be fast at peak times, but worth the wait.
• Peter: Gotta try it. Sounds like a good excuse to use the neglected 18th-St. station on the #1.
