History

Monday wings halted; the owner says they're better

We called it a sports bar covered wall to wall in plasma TVs and packed on game days. Its Monday all-you-can-eat wings were a cherished Upper West Side tradition until the pandemic stopped them in 2020¹. In 2023 the owner, Jill Homorodean, gave her verdict on the wings: "I made them better"¹.
