Winning Wings

Super Bowl LVI, taking place on February 13, is the biggest sports day of the year. It’s one where many of us gather ‘round the TV with plenty of snacks and apps while cheering on our chosen team. Wings, of course, are a must-have food on any game day menu. Luckily, you don’t have to do any work in the kitchen to savor finger-licking chicken. There are plenty of great spots to pick up wings (or have them delivered) right here in the neighborhood.

Blackbird’s

Ask anyone where to get wings in Astoria and chances are, they’ll recommend Blackbird’s. This neighborhood mainstay offers a variety of wing flavors to suit all tastes. Menu highlights include Stranger Wings, which are tossed in Blackbird’s homemade blue cheese with a side of wing sauce; Booty Wings, which are tossed in a medium sriracha, lime and cilantro sauce; and The PB&J, which are tossed in a mild peanut sesame sauce with sweet melba for dipping.
