Best Wings in East Harlem
Master Critic Review
Wing Plus
7.6
Small Third Avenue counter that keeps the menu tight around fried chicken wings and a few sides. It feels more like a neighborhood takeout window than a sit-down restaurant, but the wings land freshly fried and well-seasoned when you want something quick and focused.
Must-Try Dishes:
Garlic Pepper Wings, Parmesan Wings, Sweet Potato Fries

What makes it special: A barebones neighborhood wing counter where seasoning and fry time matter more than decor.
Who should go: Solo diners and locals wanting fast, inexpensive wings.
When to visit: Early evening for the freshest batches and shorter waits.
What to order: Garlic pepper wings, Parmesan wings, side of sweet potato fries.
Insider tip: Keep the order tight—one or two flavors plus a side yields the best hot-from-the-fryer experience.
