| - Pardon my french, but Native New Yorker might just have the best goddamned F'ing wings in the valley
There, I said it. As a former Chicagoan (and long time soldier in the "Chicago pizza is the best and NY pizza shouldn't even be called pizza" war) (and longtime hater of the Mets, Yankees, and Giants), you don't know how much it PAINS me to say something positive about anything NY, but have to admit, NNY's wings have achieved perfection. Not too big, not too small, a nice crisp to them with just the right amount of sauce . . . the hot wings were just hot enough to get a sweat going without override the taste . . . the Pineapple Teriyaki, the Oriental Garlic, and BBQ Hot wings were very good too . . .
Damn you, Native New Yorker!
The servers have been great, Tony especially. My $2 Coronas came at the right pace (yep, $2 Corona all day every day), he went out of his way to ask how each item was, and he gave me some great recommendations. One was I asked how their Beef On Kummelweck sandwich was (it's marked as an NNY signature item), and he was indifferent to it. He said he hadn't heard much good or bad about it one way or the other. He then went say the Torpedo and the Steak Bacon Cheese are his favorites, and that he gets great feedback on them
Ok, he'd been great up to that point, so I gave the Steak Bacon Cheese a try, and it was very good. I'd order that again but would ask for sauteed onions/mushrooms/peppers on it. Add some giardenia, and that would be money in the bank
The atmosphere in the bar area is great, nice and dark, lots of brick, with tons of big flatscreens, and Tony was a vocal ambassador of the place. He was great, and does service to the phrase "Trust your waiter".
My only complaint so far is based on their take out catering. Our office brought in the Penne Pasta. It was Penne noodles, a reeeeeeally watery tomato "sauce", barely there meat and barely there bits of dead green peppers and onions, with a congealed cheese topping. To top it off, the whole thing was under baked, not a hint that it had ever been in an oven
There was still a ton of the pasta left over the next day . . . (I was at work, it was still free, I was hungry, what's a brotha supposed to do?) . . . and it was slightly better the next day because it'd gone from watery to gloopy after a good nuking. Disappointing, yes, but I'm not going to judge them too hard based on catering trays
Anyways, I have a feeling that after a handful more visits, I'm going to have to bump NNY to 5 stars
