If Edna's had seats, people might park themselves here all afternoon. But there's just one windowside ledge, standing room only, looking out on the passing traffic along the border of Bed-Stuy and Brownsville. A more enticing view, with all its attendant aromas, was right up close: rosemary chicken with cabbage and collard greens (small, $5). The cabbage, interspersed with slivers of carrot, was well-dosed with black pepper; the greens, flavored with bits of turkey wing, were not bitter in the least. Nice chicken skin; too bad you can't order extra skin on the side.
