"One of the best restaurants in NYC is now tackling chicken fingers. At Mommy Pai’s, a Thai/Americana mashup from the team behind Thai Diner, you can get your chicken fingers grilled or fried in a few different flavors, with eight Thai-inspired sauces to choose from. The takeout-oriented spot also offers a cheeseburger-inspired chicken sandwich, a tofu take on a Filet-O-Fish, and a long list of sides including waffle fries, sticky rice, and curry puff mozzarella sticks." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, bryan kim
