Turtle Bay
There’s an old adage…Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet. Well now that baseball season is over (I wont even get into the discussion about having sushi delivered to your box seats) I just need to say Who’s ready for some Football???
That would be us…and there’s not too many things that go better with football than Beer, Wings, and hot blonds wearing Black & Gold…Yes, Steeler Nation, you know what I’m talking about!
But where in the city can we find this wonderful collection all in one place? We searched out and came across Turtle Bay! Turtle Bay NYC is like a little slice Heaven right here on earth for Steeler Fans…2 floors of beer, babes, bar food, and enough wings to even satisfy Casey Hampton.
As our crew started to roll in for some Monday Night Football, and a quick Wing Fling…I asked our waitress how many wings in an order…she chuckled as she gave me the ‘silly boy’ look and said “as many as you want, they’re 50 cents each” and the order for 50 wings was placed!
The Heavenly platter arrived and we dug right in.
Simply stated…the wings were GOOD…nothing amazing, but they were GOOD. Cooked to the right crispness, decent amount of meat, generous amount of hot sauce keeping with the true buffalo-style (a touch on the buttery side). After a few I did need a Terrible Towel to wipe off my head. The Blue Cheese dare I say was almost too chunky for my liking?…nah…It was thick with real boulders of the wonderful fromage.
I can’t say much except 50 cents that are above par with your typical bar wings makes Happy Pete…Happy. Not to mention the Steelers won 28-10!
Here’s what the fellow fans had to say:
- Kevin: For typical sports bar wings, not bad. Nothing overwhelming, good or bad. Wings had a good amount of meat, but the taste was just typical of other wings at sports bars. Wouldn’t come back to Turtle Bay just for the wings, but would order them when watching the Steelers kick ass! Overall Score: 7.
- Mike: Good stuff. Very tasty. Just right, not too hot, not too saucy. Overall Score: 7
- Rob: My issue, I ordered the wings plain with sauce on the side, problem was, only 1 sauce available, HOT!!! No BBQ, No Sweet & Sour, No Honey Mustard, only Hot – give me more choices, I’ll be back. Overall Score: 7.
- Shariff summed it up in two words: GO STEELERS! Overall Score: 7.
BTW, if you like “house music”…even if you don’t (which you should!) Go check out Kevin and Mikes site http://downdeepnyc.com Great DJ team and great guys in general. You can download mixes or check out when they’re playing next.
Since we were so wrapped up in the game, we neglected to take a group shot, so I had to digitally recreate the evening using a high-end 3D animation program.
