I grew up in Buffalo and I typically decline to eat anything called "Buffalo sauce" outside of that city. In fact, I generally refuse to eat any chicken wings that don't come from the Anchor Bar, where the sauce was invented. I may have to head out there and see for myself if you're truly sticking by this claim. This is quite the claim you’re making.

Not far from the LIRR Main Line and on the express bus route to Lake Success is Santoor Indian restaurant in Glen Oaks. Absolutely delicious meat dishes and vegetable/potato crepes. http://www.santoorgrill.com/ if you want to take a look! Another island choice I recently discovered.

Any good cafes or such to hang and do some work with a laptop after lunch and a few margs? My B-day isnext weekend and they have a $10 off within 3 days, so it's an even more serious possibility this week! Also, how are the flavored margs? (Blueberry, guava, papaya?)
