We are HUGE fans of a delicious piece of fried chicken (bone-in specifically) so we took it upon ourselves to curate a top bone-in fried chicken list of NYC. These are our opinions and know there are many delicious places but we hope this lists inspires you to try a new spot or make a trip to Harlem for our #1 chicken!

Disclaimer: this was not an easy list to make and took us almost a year to eat all the chicken…

NYC is a revolving door for restaurants and it’s hard to keep up with the best “new hot thing.” But we spent the last 12 months eating to bring you our comprehensive list of the best new restaurants, bakeries, and everything in between that opened in 2023.

Disclaimer: it was extremely difficult to limit this list down.

This is the ultimate guide to NYC’s Chinatown with everything from where to get the best dumplings and noodles to sweet treats like mochi donuts and bubble tea.
