Hen House Nyc

"A Lebanese food stand that remains open at the Herald Square Urbanspace holiday market after a fire destroyed other booths." - Emma Orlow

"Hen House, a restaurant opened by Smorgasburg veteran Antony Nassif, offers chicken and lamb shawarma or chicken piri piri, touching on dishes from around the globe. One item, lamb birria ($25), is a rare commodity in NYC, compared to the omnipresent beef. Hen House transforms lamb birria by putting braised and shredded lamb into markouk — a Lebanese bread that’s big and round like a spare tire. A cup of dipping broth comes alongside, which tastes more like a French consommé than a Mexican one. Tear it apart with your hands, dip, and enjoy!" - Robert Sietsema

"Hen House offers a Lebanese Crunch Wrap Supreme with garlic potatoes, lamb shoulder shawarma, soujouk sausage, and various toppings, as well as a lamb shoulder birria." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner

"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

"Hen House, a Smorgasburg standby, is ready to serve the late-night East Village crowd. They are currently open from 8pm-3am on Fridays and Saturdays, so danced-out and delirious East Village people can head there to satisfy their drunchies. " - Will Hartman, Willa Moore
