I don’t normally hang out in Long Island but I decided to join my co-workers for a pre-Thanksgiving Buffalo Wing night at Croxley Ales. I had been hearing about these famous wing nights and I finally got to experience one. The evening was preceded by a discussion of the name Buffalo wings. Without even having any beer the discussion we had was quite ridiculous and I will not recreate it for you here. I suppose I could Google or Wiki it but perhaps an informed reader can educate me. Also, I’ve never been to Buffalo so I’ve never had true Buffalo wings, just like I’ve never had a true Philly cheese steak or true Chicago pizza either. I had a pear cider and then I lost track of the number of wings that I had. I think I stopped counting on purpose in order to prevent myself from quantifying the guilt! I loved the hot wings but people ordered mostly mild or medium. I couldn’t taste the difference between the mild and medium but it didn’t really matter because the bleu cheese sauce prevailed, anyways. The wings were great, the company was fantastic, and the beers were plentiful. ’Twas a great night.

10¢ Wings at Croxley’s
I was watching the Martha Stewart Show this morning and she was doing a tribute to New York City. Mayor Bloomberg was the first guest and when she asked him what tourists must do when they come to New York, he answered, “Take the Staten Island Ferry. It’s free.” I laughed because I always take my friends on the Staten Island Ferry whenever I have visitors. Martha and Michael also talked about the nice view you get of Lady Liberty, and if you don’t have time to see some of the cultural things on Staten Island, you can just get back on the ferry and come back. The part that really made me laugh was the Mayor saying that he used to take a 6-pack of beer and a pizza and made it a cheap date. Hey, if it’s good enough for the Mayor, it’s good enough for me!
