Crain's reports that Long Island-based fried chicken and pizza chainlet Pudgie's is expanding to the NYC area soon. They're planning 20 locations in the next year with the first ones landing in Brooklyn and Queens, and they eventually expect to have 50 stores throughout the city over the next five years. They'll also be tweaking their menu a bit to offer more healthy options like salads, vegetables and grilled entrees. [Crain's]
