Halal Crown Fried Chicken

Meet the Afghan Immigrants Who Run New York’s Halal Fried Chicken Shops | Eater

"A busy, budget-friendly halal fried-chicken shop on Broadway that doubles as a neighborhood hub: customers stop in after work, school, or nights out for inexpensive bone-in fried chicken (often sold by the piece), biscuits, sweet potato pies and other soul-food and Middle Eastern staples displayed on colorful laminated posters. The shop’s informal, welcoming vibe shows in small acts of generosity — letting a customer pay later when short a dollar, participating in a local pay-it-forward sticker program to cover meals for neighbors in need — and in the behind-Plexiglas service that feels part cashier counter, part community center." - Mike Diago
