Fried chicken (yum) conjures up images of scarfing down KFC during our late night college days. It certainly doesn’t fit into New York’s intense foodie scene, does it? And fried chicken is one thing you’d never see designers, and other industry professionals in the Garment Center scarfing down at lunch-time, is it? Well, it is now. Thanks to the opening of BonChon Chicken on 38th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues.
Anybody familiar with Korean fried chicken knows how delicious it is, but also, that it’s far different from Southern American fried chicken. The frying process is different, there are a variety of sauces and flavors, and we think it is lighter and crispier than its American cousin. One of our favorite things abut Korean fried chicken is the variety of flavors, you have a choice of sauces and can even mix and match, like Spicy, Soy, and Garlic. We definitely recommend trying this more fashionable way to indulge your next fried chicken craving.
Now beware this is still fried chicken, so this is not a light lunch and BonChon is a chain so don’t expect fine dining. If you are a real foodie and like Korean fired chicken we have to recommend Unidentified Flying Chicken in Jackson Heights Queens, it is the BEST! One other random recommendation for our readers. Right next door and above BonChon, is Cozy Nails, one of the best places in the Garment Center to get a quick mani-pedi. As long as you don’t go on a Friday, they can get you in and out during your lunch hour and they do a lovely job.
