brotherly love
i used to think that buffalo wings at bars was a philly thing. i just never saw them in la (well at least not as prominently as a bar staple). perhaps it was because i became (technically) of drinking age in philly. or perhaps i worked at moriarty's which supposedly had the best wings in town (and i had the smelliest shirt in town to prove it). today i had an odd craving for wings. and i don't even like wings.i've actually been quite nostalgic for philly in general lately (seeing a bunch of penn ppl last week helped a little) so i was looking for places to relive the philly experience right here in good ole nyc. here's what i've found:
cheesesteaks:
99 miles to philly is touted as one of the best in the city. the fact that it's a block away from new hotness and danny g's apartment pushes it to the top of my list (because if i'm going to be fat, i might as well tack on some lazy).
carl's steaks is perhaps best characterized by their slogan on citysearch: "we have beer!" enough said.
tony luke's is hell's kitchen's steak outlet. i had one delivered to the office but it was lacking. perhaps the steak lost it's philly-ness in transit. i'd give it another chance if by chance i find myself wandering around 9th avenue and 41st street.
wings:
croxley ales has 10 cent wings on mondays and wednesdays. hot damn that's cheap. quoteth ryry, "i can't afford not to go." indeed. let's go.
down the hatch has what they call atomic wings, which along with beer are all you can handle on saturdays (1pm-6pm) for $20. not bad, if you want to hang out with frat boys all day (that is, if nyu had any frats). if bar none is their smokes then dth is their new deck... or something like that.
i'm sure there are more. i'm tired. i'm sorry.
