New York City: Chat ‘n Chew | July 20, 2009

Where do you go if you want to see trendy college kids stuffing their faces with comfort food?  Chat ‘n Chew, of course!  True to its name, this place is where college students, yuppies, and an eclectic group of locals come to chat it up and chew down on that oh so good meatloaf.

Located in Union Square (my fav part of NYC) on 16th street between 5th ave and Union Square West, stop in to this restaurant after a long day of shopping.  Try the mac and cheese with a crusty top.  Or swing for the traditional meatloaf or turkey dinner.  Want something different?  How about the TV dinner or Uncle Red’s Addiction.  Craving seafood? Then get the cajun catfish po’ boy.

Prices range from about $10 for the po’ boy to $15 for the TV dinner.  The food is average as is the service, but you’re definitely paying for the ambiance of being surrounded by chattering locals.
