My boss is way cool, so I can have a whole day or 2 off for drinking, so any tips on morning imbibing events would be cool. Thought I'd ask here before checking out "other sources." I'm thinking green breakfast beer followed by streetmeat would be cool, with more beer for dessert.... </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/macaron-day#post-13567 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:44:37 -0500 Yvo 13567@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p><a href="http://www.macarondaynyc.com/home.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.macarondaynyc.com/home.html</a></p> <p>YOU'RE WELCOME</p> <p>(I wish I could go, but alas, I cannot) </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/muffuletta-from-central-grocery#post-13429 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:10:09 -0500 kcijones001 13429@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Has anyone ever mail ordered this before? </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/eatery-near-times-square#post-12620 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 11:07:37 -0500 mrkeeboard 12620@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>We were thinking of the restaurant on the lower level of the Empire State Building but what else you think is great for a 3 guys and their date. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/my-quest-for-the-best#post-12246 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 19:02:51 -0500 Carlo_ThChThr 12246@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Check out a video series I have on <a href="http://thecheapthriller.com" rel="nofollow">thecheapthriller.com</a> called 'Carlo's Quest' where I search high and low for the best food and drink NYC has to offer.

Scruffy Duffy's had them until they closed. Here are my grades for other wing places FYI:</p> <p>1849: A; slightly breaded, but meaty with great sauce. @20 cents/ea, hard to beat</p> <p>Blondies: B/B-; many people like these undercooked, too-oily wings with thin/boring sauce</p> <p>Pluck U/Atomic: B; standard 'chain' wings, not meaty enough and boring sauce, despite levels of heat</p> <p>Dinosaur: A/A+ ('non-Buffalo' category); very meaty, awesome bbq flavor, good to the last bite.</p> <p>Croxley's: B/B+; meaty wings but undercooked; cheap but boring.</p> <p>Dallas BBQ: B; breaded, but huge whole wings--don't let them get cold.</p> <p>Off the Wagon, Dukes: B/B-; standard sub-par bar wings</p> <p>So, an better wings to try? (Don't try to convince me that Blondies wings are great-I have taste buds!) </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/anything-worthwhile-near-apple-store-in-chelsea-14th9th#post-9460 Wed, 03 Feb 2010 10:32:00 -0500 cazique 9460@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Any takeout worth checking out?
