New York Loves Wings and a New Study Proves It

If you are getting ready for the Super Bowl and planning to serve chicken wings, you are not alone. In New York State, wings are a huge part of game day. A new study shows that New York is still one of the best places in the country to find great wings, even if we are not number one anymore.

BizInsure looked at thousands of wing restaurants listed on Yelp in the 100 biggest cities in the country. They compared ratings, number of wing spots, and reviews to see which cities really stood out.

Buffalo Is Still Wing Country

Buffalo is famous for being the place where chicken wings were first created, so it is no surprise that it did really well in the study. Buffalo ranked number two in the country for the most wing restaurants per 100,000 people.

The top rated wing spot in New York City is PaPa Chicken, and it earned a near perfect 4.9 out of 5 rating. The study also showed that New York City had one of the highest average ratings for wing restaurants in the whole country.
