"There is nothing quite like an early bird special at The Fly. A 5-6pm slot at the bar, with a half chicken, an order of french fries, a martini (or two), and the buffalo wings, if they’re the evening special. Because by 8pm, especially on a Saturday, at its glorious, chicken-loving peak, the cave-like Bed-Stuy chicken specialist is deafeningly loud. So loud in fact, that you might have trouble tasting your food, let alone hearing yourself speak. There is, of course, a time and place for bringing a group, and ordering the entire menu—but to really taste the juiciest rotisserie chicken in Brooklyn, go early." - will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja
