"Are the wings from Old Town Bar the best on this list? No. But are they slick with sauce, and aggressively crispy? Yes. Also, the blue cheese is quite good—it’s the little things. They’re the perfect beginning to a meal at this Gramercy institution, where the ideal order includes chicken wings, burgers, $32 pitchers of beer, and martinis. The two-floor spot also has the oldest active dumbwaiter in all New York City—a fact we really enjoy sharing. (Reactions are never quite as excited as we want them to be.)" - neha talreja, kenny yang, willa moore, will hartman
