The date

The Chickadee Room solved a problem you didn't know you had: a tiny, gleefully retro 80s cocktail bar hidden directly upstairs from Juke Fried Chicken, so drinks and chicken land at the same table without anyone going anywhere. It's a neon-lit Chinatown nook with a build-your-own card and drinks named Eraserhead and Dark Matter. Order the Dark Matter and split the chicken, hot until 1am on weekends.

How to do it

Find the stairs up from Juke and slip into this neon-lit nook. Order the Dark Matter off the build-your-own card, then call up Juke's properly excellent fried chicken, your 'one more drink' arrives with hot, crispy carbs piped straight up the stairs. It's snug and weekends run to 1am, so plan a tight, happy 90 minutes and stay until they wave you out. The perfect cocktails-and-comfort-food cap to a Chinatown night.
