Double Chicken Please

Double Chicken Please arrived from Taiwan by way of two of Asia's most decorated bartenders and promptly became one of the hardest seats in New York — a Lower East Side room that topped the North America's 50 Best Bars list with cocktails engineered like dishes: the Cold Pizza really does taste like a slice, and the Waldorf Salad drinks like the salad course.

The front room (walk-in only) pours drafts and serves a chicken sandwich with a cult of its own; the back room takes reservations for the full culinary-cocktail experience. Book the back well ahead, or come early, take the front, and let the sandwich change your evening's plans.
