The folks from Tea & Sympathy have expanded their British empire with an authentic fish-and-chips shop that's always buzzing. A Salt & Battery has the "Best Fish 'N' Chips in town" (New York Magazine). Aside from the main attraction, properly wrapped in British newspaper, there are mushy peas, pickled onions, Heinz baked beans, and the improbably edible deep-fried Mars Bars. Between orders, a relentlessly cheery staff spouts cockney slang. Located in Greenwich Village.
