Best of Metromix Hudson Valley 2010Chicken wings
There is nothing better than catching a game, grabbing a beer and noshing on some great chicken wings.
And the winner is…
Candlelight Inn
519 Central Ave.
Greenburgh, NY 10583Neighborhood: Scarsdale area
Forget Atkins. Pub food rules here, meaning chili, oversized burgers, and balboas (hot, sliced roast beef served on a garlic wedge with melted Swiss cheese) reign supreme. Not only is the service friendly, but they also offer mild, hot, extra-hot, and Chernobyl-style chicken wings.
Nominees
Buffalo Wild Wings
44 Westchester Ave.
Port Chester, NY 10573Sports fans, this is your house of worship. 44 TVs. 24 draft beers. Wings with 14 signature sauces. Dollar drafts on Friday nights. Buffalo Wild Wings advertises a stadium atmosphere indoors,but watching a game here may be even better than being at the ballpark. The beers are cheaper and the lines for the bathroom aren't as long. You can even play trivia or Texas Hold 'Em against your neighbors. There may be no better place to spend a Sunday afternoon during football season.
Campus Wings
654 North Ave.
New Rochelle, NY 10801This laid-back restaurant gives a whole new meaning to late night, open until 3 a.m. on weekdays and 4 a.m. on weekends. Stop in and try their famous mini-burgers or enjoy one of twenty-five different sauces on their wings, always made to order and battered by hand. While Campus Wings delivers, its best to order online and earn points towards future purchases.
Olde Village Inne
97 Main St.
Nyack, NY 10960Neighborhood: Nyack-Piermont area
A great long bar with an Irish tilt; Murphy's stout and about a dozen more beers on tap and soccer on the TV. Burgers, shepherd's pie, chicken potpie and the like; OVI regulars swear by their wings.
Frank's Pizza, Pasta, Wings
154 S. Plank Road
Newburgh, NY 12550Neighborhood: Newburgh area
Mainly a pizzeria-cafe, Frank's tagline is "Bringing Arthur Avenue, the Little Italy of the Bronx, to Newburgh." Although there's no mention anywhere on the menu about what ingredients have been brought up from Arthur Avenue, the menu is full of classics. Frank's has all the way up to a 20-inch pie with such gourmet choices as eggplant ricotta and chicken marsala.
