The Wango Tangos are the best wings I have ever had (and I ate a LOT of Buffalo wings in my day). Every pizza shop in my town had wings and did a respectable job making them. The ones in Harlem are just as good and now I prefer the smoke and grilled to the fried kind and they are usually much meatier than most Buffalo style I've had. I've never thought of NYC as a "wing" town. Are there good Buffalo wings to be had here? I grew up in CNY and wasted many a night at Dinosaur in Syracuse.

There are a lot of people out there really muffing the buffalo wing etiquette. I'm going to review a bunch of wing spots real soon so keep an eye out. Thanks for the Chipotle lesson. That was copied directly from <a href="http://www.dinosaurbarbque.com/nycMenu.php" rel="nofollow">Dinosaur's website</a> so you might want to get in touch with them. Stevenp,

It's "chipotle." There's no such word as "chipolte" even though many people misspell/mispronounce it that way. From somewhere on the internets: The word chipotle, which was also sometimes spelled chilpoctle and chilpotle, comes to English originally from the Nahuatl word chilpoctli by way of Mexican Spanish. The Nahuatl word chilpoctli means "smoked chile", formed from chil (="chile pepper") + poctli (="smoke"). OK, I’m on a nitpick run today.

Wings should not be dipped into the dressing. Hey, this is buffalo wing etiquette. I don't make this stuff up. ;) Jonathan:

You can call for reservations (212-694-1777) or go on opentable.com. Be aware they're closed Mondays. I got mine extra well done but they're still not as crispy as I would have liked. The previous time my friends had them, they said they were even crispier and that's when they're best. The ones I just photographed were by no means burned. As far as sauces go you can choose from 4: 1) MILD Honey Bar-B-Que 2) HOT Wango Tango 3) HOTTER Garlic Chipolte 4 4) HOTTEST Devil's Duel I've only had the Mild & Wango Tango, both are excellent. <strong>Jonathan-</strong> You don't need bleu cheese or ranch but they provide a delicious Maytag Bleu cheese that has a great flavor, I recommend you try some and see if you like it. I personally dipped every wing in it but would have been equally satisfied without a dipping sauce. <strong>CB28,</strong> I don't have a go to pickle spot. Everyone seems to like Gus's on the LES.
