"Hanging out outside The Commodore, on the corner of Havemeyer and Metropolitan in Williamsburg, is one of the great ways to spend a summer night in the city. Want to make it better? Grab an order of the bar's Southern-style fried chicken. It’s everything you want out of this genre of fried fowl. Full of pickle-brined salty goodness, and worth scraping up the roof of your mouth, it pairs very well with a frozen cocktail. The Commodore’s second location in the East Village has the same fried chicken, but no outdoor seating." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick
