Welcome to New York’s Golden Age of Bar Snacks | Eater NY

"A popular chicken-wing order (2 for $17) is a complex, one-of-a-kind item: wings are deboned, stuffed with a potent mixture of minced pork, minced chicken, and blue cheese, cooked slowly in the oven, then grilled while brushed in a glaze made with mirin and shoyu. The tuna mayo ($17) is a deconstructed tunafish-salad riff—tuna belly confit mixed with a coffee emulsion bound between rectangular potato-chip "bookends" and finished with a scatter of red onions." - Robert Simonson
