"Getting half of an entire animal is either really great (if the animal is a chicken) or kind of a mess (if the animal is, say, a horse). At Machu Chicken in Union Square, you get the former, cooked over a charcoal fire along with a side salad and your choice of fries or rice, and it costs just $13. As casual as this place is, it’s still sit-down, so you can come here when you don’t want to spend money, but still want to feel like you actually went to a real restaurant." - dan secatore
