"When the line at 7th Street Burger looks like a KithXSupreme collab mobscene circa 2017, don’t worry: you can still get your late-night munchies at Hen House, which is no more than 30 steps away. The Lebanese spot has lamb shawarma and grilled chicken pitas with extremely garlicky pickles and toum, and a pretty good chicken sandwich that’s even better when you’ve drunk all the cheap beer the East Village has to offer. Their menu often has specials, so you might find a shawarma crunchwrap one night, or smoked lamb ribs with a pomegranate molasses bbq sauce on another. They’re open until 1am on the weekends." - willa moore, will hartman, neha talreja, bryan kim
