Recession-Priced Buffalo Wings in New York City

If you're like me, you love buffalo wings. There's nothing wrong with it. Yeah, it's fried chicken, dipped in sauce, only to be baked again, but don't let your health concerns deprive of you of this delectable, edible creation. Otherwise, you would miss some of the best "recession-proof" deals there are in New York City. Gas can go up all it wants to, but the cost of wings remains steady in Manhattan.

Barrow Street Ale House
Barrow Street is truly a place for sitting back and relaxing, and what can be more relaxing than $0.40 wings and $3 pints of Sam Adams? With pool games, darts and video games to take part in, you can really work up an appetite at Barrow Street, so they're taking care of all patrons every Monday night with their 40-cent wing special. Because it's located in the West Village, you better get here right around 7pm when the 40-cent wing special begins, otherwise you might find yourself waiting quite a while.

1849
There's nothing like plopping down in a seat several feet away from a 40-inch plasma television with the big game on and ordering dozens of wings, knowing that they will only cost you a couple of bucks! That's what you can do at 1849 on Sunday, Monday and Wednesday nights. You can also come in on any day before 5p.m. and get the same deal-and what a deal it is. For just $0.20 per wing, you can order all of the buffalo, barbeque or fried chicken wings you want, and believe me, you will want a lot. I typically go for a platter a wings, a side of fries and a couple of $3 well drinks. Then I sit back and enjoy the conversational vibe that 1849 delivers unlike any other spot in Manhattan.

Croxley Ales
In these economic times, it can be hard to justify paying a penny more than you have to for just about anything. That's why Croxley Ales steps there game up big time, by offering 10-cent wings, which is half the price of some of the best deals in Manhattan. And quite frankly, they aren't skimming out on anything by lowering the cost. In fact, Croxley Ales has bigger, more robust, more flavorful, and hotter wings than just about anybody else in New York City. Located on Avenue B between 1^st and 2^nd street, Croxley Ales is a local favorite for all of the young, Lower East Siders still trying to find their way in New York City. That's why this place is packed on Mondays and Wednesdays, when the 10-cent deal runs from 5pm to close. Of course, you will want to wash those wings down, so you they've got $4 brews (of which they have hundreds to choose from) going all night long.
