Wings in NYC (Cont.)

Checked out Bonnie's Grill in Park Slope the other day for some hot wings and, so far, they were the best I've had in NY. I had their 'hot' and, maybe I have an unreasonable expectation of 'hot', having gone so far as to meet a guy on a street corner to purchase a box of Ghost Chilis, but these were a medium hot at best. Just the slightest of burn on my lips, certainly nothing that was going to slow me down. Their fries though? Those were aces.

But, the quest for the best wings in NY continues. Is it really so hard to make a great wing with a great sauce? Am I going to be reduced to performing my own culinary experiments in my small apartment kitchen? Possibly. I've got a bit more free weekend time now that the relationship has dissolved, making hot wings seems like a pretty productive thing to do.

I've also been looking for good burgers and these are much easier to come by. My current favorite source of ground bovine sandwiches is Moo Burger on Court Street in Brooklyn. They run about ~10 dollars a burger, but man... they are some damn good burgers. I've only grabbed food to go there, but it doesn't look like a bad place to sit and enjoy a meal, might have to recruit someone into going with me.

Getting Wings in NYC

Is fucking hard. Well, getting good wings anyway. Maybe I got spoiled when I was in Buffalo, but this is ridiculous. Finally found some decent wings from Wing Bar on Smith St in Brooklyn, though at this point I'm not 100% sure if they're actually good or if the atrocious wings I've found myself dealing with in NYC make them seem good by comparison. Even so, I can confidently say they are the best wings I've had in the two years that I've been in this city. Their 'hot' could stand to be a bit hotter though, its medium at best.

Back, Halloween thoughts.

I think I over think this stuff, which is why I haven't written anything in nearly a year. Every time I log in to add a post I hem and haw for about 15 minutes and then just give up. Trying out more of a free flow process now.

What's going on?
Nothing good, doing the daily struggle and drowning in it. Have some ideas for Halloween though, thinking of making a Bioshock inspired mask. Yeah, not at all late to the party on that one... Depressingly, I have no idea where I would go for Halloween if I did dress up as no one I particularly want to party with is around. Ugh, whatever. Making a mask should be a nice distraction at least, something different to do. If I don't use it there's always Etsy or E-bay.

When is 'too old' for enjoying Halloween and treating it like an excuse to have a Masquerade? I'm 27 now, but I feel that I'm approaching 'creepy'. I guess at some point you're supposed to get married and have kids, which in turn prevent you from having time for such decadent things.
