Being that I have not seen one full football game this season and feel lost in this sea of Eagles, Giants, Jets and Patriots fans, (because I am a Carolina Panthers fan) I am looking forward to this Super Bowl Sunday for the food, friends and commercials. Football food means one thing to me, CHICKEN WINGS. Since my boyfriend took the liberty of inviting all of our friends to my apartment for the big game, it is times like these, I thank God I am an event planner and feel personally obligated to provide the best wings in the city. ---Emily
Seeing that I am a Giants fan living with a die-hard Falcons fan, a Jets fan, and a Cowboys fan, you can imagine the chaos that takes place at my apartment every Sunday during football season. I must admit, the sad 44-6 annihilation of the Cowboys by the Eagles, the firing of Jets head coach Eric Mangini, and the realization that none of our teams had made it to the Super Bowl seemed to be quite discouraging. However, in spite of the all of this, we have decided to swallow our pride and take part in the game's festivities…and what better way to celebrate another team's success on the Super Bowl? Friends, drinks, and a great big bucket of chicken wings! ---Christine
Here are our findings…we would have done a "Top 10" but there were only 8 places delicious enough for our list.
Top Wing Places In The City for Super Bowl Sunday
1. 1849 (Emily's personal favorite)
183 Bleeker St. 212-505-3200

The wings are delicious and affordable, especially at happy hour. Although they are not delivering for the Super Bowl, they do offer Buffalo and Honey BBQ flavored wings and would be a great spot to watch the game.
2. Dinosaur Wings
646 131st St. at 12th Ave. 212-694-1777

Dinosaur normally delivers but this Sunday they only offer pick up. Dinosaur has 4 different flavors; Mild/Honey BBQ, BBQ Spicy (staff favorite), Garlic Chipotle, and Doubles Duel. They offer a large order of 13 wings at $11.95.
3. Brother Jimmys
Many Manhattan Locations

The staff says their wings are "unbelievable" and they don't work on commission. They are delivering Sunday but your orders must be in before Sunday. Wings come in flavors of Chipotle, Hot and Mustard.
4. Blue Smoke
116 E. 27th St. Park Ave. South 212-447-7733

Minimum for delivery is $500. They only have Chipotle chicken wings. You can order 44 wings for $31 or 100 wings for $63.
5. Blondies

They are delivering on Sunday but are not delivering during game time, 4:45 p.m.-8:30 p.m. Besides that time they deliver every quarter hour. The delivery standard is a bucket of 50 wings or a platter of 100 wings. The flavors are plain, mild, medium, hot, smokin', scorchin', sizzlin' and ouch.
6. Buffalo Wild Wings
139 Flatbush Avenue Brooklyn, NY 718-943-9453
http://www.buffalowildwings.com/
I know this place isn't in Manhattan but it is so delicious, I had to include it. They have a long list of available sauces, including, staff favorite, Honey BBQ and Spicy Garlic. The hottest wing sauce requires a signed waiver in order to eat it. They do not deliver but have affordable wing plates ranging from 6 wings for $5 to 50 wings for $30.
7. Bonnie's
278 5th Ave Brooklyn, NY 718-369-9527

Again, in Brooklyn, but this place was more confident about having the best wings in NYC than any other location. They do not deliver but offer Mild, Medium, Hot, and Hotter wings. The kitchen is willing to make the wings as hot as you want them. Staff members typically eat the wings at a medium flavor but no matter what flavor, the spices in the sauce are delicious.
8. Atomic Wings
Multiple locations in Manhattan.
http://www.atomicwings.com/site/
The menu is available online. The wings are come in plain, mild, medium or hot. They are delivering on Sunday. They claim to be the most authentic Buffalo Chicken Wings in Manhattan, ordering their wings directly from Buffalo, NY.
