The great and terrible Chick-fil-A has come to Babylon. I’m pretty sure that’s a quote from Ghostbusters, right before the “dogs and cats living together” bit. Yes, the mighty and controversial, but undisputed King of chicken has come at last to New York City, and despite any past enmity, the city is thrilled and the residents are lined up for blocks to get the precious.
Being from the south, Chick-fil-A has long been a passion of mine. If you’re wondering, I order the classic as is. I put a little mayo and mustard on it. I escape to euphoria. And oh, the waffle fries.
Late Friday night, Twitchy rounded up some of the photos from Twitter of this giant leap for Yankee-kind. Here’s a sample:

My favorite place for clean and friendly and awesome food is Culver's. They make the famous butter burger, with all the fixin's. It's what a fast-food hamburger should taste like.
That’s a great story! I’m sorry your card was declined.
LOL! I've got a sister in North Massapequa. :-)
It figures that NYC would throw a tantrum over Chik Fil A requiring an ID.
They have already change the rules once:

it's seasoned and fried right, and all it needs is some mayo on the bun. They must use crack in the Spicy Chcken sandwich, though, because I can't get enough of those things. I wish they'd bring back the Chik-n-q, though.
This would go well in Times Square where the topless ladies are
Mayo and mustard? Man, New Yorkers are messed up. The ONLY thing that goes on an a Deluxe is Texas Pete. Everyone knows that.
hmmmm......several years late
reminds me of the crowds that converged and literally lined up in cars for miles to get to the chic filet a few years ago
NYC brings Trump to the Country.
The Country brings Chick-Fil-A to NYC.
Nice.
Typical NYC moron.
Just waiting for Waffle House to show up!
LOL! Thanks for the explanation. Crack is the secret ingredient.
Lunch ping.
When I was a kid, my mom ( who was from the northwest and was transplanted against her will in the south), used to drive us out to Crabtree Valley Mall under the guise of going shopping. She rarely bought anything, and I always suspected it was a cover to get her Chick fil-A fix. It was a treat for us. And you would have never caught my mom in a McDonald's.
I used to think the same way until I moved into the south and tried one. The food is high quality is well cooked and prepared by very nice friendly servers. The prices are more than reasonable for the size portion you get. The employees don't have the vacuous looks of those that work at Burger King or McDonalds.
Chicken sandwiches are very good...real actual chicken breasts
The waffle fries are the Dabomb...
Most important thing are the people who serve you, clean, smiling, prompt, great attitudes, no visible tattoos, no grill work in their mouth, ya know someone who won't spit in your food because of the racial chip on their shoulder...
The peach shakes are good, but I love the peppermint ones.
Oh me too. Have you tried the frozen lemonade? Mmmmm...
There are more reasons than a sammich.
Support for free speech.
Desperately jonesing. (My nearest Chick-fil-A is a four hour round trip).
Chic-fil-A makes a grand opening an EVENT, games quizzes, prizes, etc. (I got a Chick-fil-A travel cup, no I didn't drive 2 hours to stand in line, I've since moved far away).
Solidarity against the gaystapo.
Besides, it's just plain fun.
