Every once in a while I take a break from my whining to share with you what I like to call a "fortunate finding". These gems are what I've found while exploring the Upper West Side and are what I believe worth your time.
Last night I stumbled across a truly delicious meal, which automatically I have to share with everyone I know. The culprit? Blondies' Wings, located on 79th street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue.
A massive sports bar, I stopped by Blondies' on my way out for a quick beer with a friend. Never able to refuse food, I took a look at the menu when the waitress offered it to me. Being a bit of a buffalo wing snob, I didn't have high expectations but decided to give them a try anyways. What I found was one of the most delicious orders of wings I have ever eaten. Perfectly crispy, ample but not excessive meat, and a spicy yet flavorful sauce, these wings were definitely worth writing home about. The waffle fries (I split them, I swear) were equally delicious, perfectly golden and when paired with the buffalo sauce, a real surprise.
The only real downside here ( and it's a bit of a big one) is the price-- at just shy of $10 for 10 wings, this place isn't offering any bargains. But the fact that I am recommending this place despite the high prices should speak volumes about the quality of the meal: I, a cheap college student, would gladly drop another $10 for these wings again. Trust me, they're worth it.
With wings this good, I'd be hard pressed not to deem Blondies' a Fortunate Find.
