Fried Chicken & Waffles. You can't go wrong. This location is right off the J in LES, Manhattan. But there's also one in Williamsburg, Brooklyn you can Uber to if you want to stay in the borough.

Getting Around
Stops Halsey and Gates on the J-Train
Mind the conductor's announcements while on the train as sometimes the train runs express and will bypass stops.
When express, the train will always stop at either Halsey or Gates

Essentials
The building also has it's own washer, dryer which takes quarters. If you're staying longer, I recommend The Soap Box.
They offer pick-up and delivery service (about a 2 day turn around for wash & fold). You can use my referral code -839B4 - and get $5 off your first order.
