Williamsburg favourite – and fabulously named – hipster chicken joint, Pies 'n' Thighs, now has a Manhattan outpost.

The new spot, on Canal Street on the Lower East Side, is larger than the original Brooklyn space, with a long lunch counter, with vintage stools, and a snug dining room at the back, ideal for groups.

Along with its famous chicken biscuit – crispy chicken cutlet on a buttermilk biscuit with hot sauce and honey butter – and chicken and waffles, there is a Southern-influenced ‘breakfast and lunch’ menu, including chicken fried steak, a fried catfish sandwich, Carolina pulled pork, and thought this is not the place for anyone watching their waistline, a kale and sesame salad.

The dinner menu includes many of the same dishes, and there’s an extensive weekend brunch menu, featuring smashed pork hash with eggs, and the Banjo – egg and cheese on a biscuit, with bacon or sausage.

After the thighs come the pies, a list of indulgent desserts including sour cherry pear crumble pie, coconut macaroon pie and bourbon pecan pie. The sourdough donuts are also fried in-house, and include chocolate cake, orange clove and pecan butter crunch options.

There’s a bucket list for takeaways too, including 16 pieces of chicken with biscuits and a pie, perfect for parties, or the very hungry. And you can chow down with a clear conscience – all the meat dishes are made from humanely reared chicken, pork and beef.
