  "what": "A sports bar on West 79th Street between Amsterdam and Broadway, on Manhattan's Upper West Side, with televisions in every sightline and a wing order most of the room is there for. NYC Tourism calls it \"a female-owned fixture on the Upper West Side for more than 35 years.\" It runs late — later than almost any wing room in this set.",
  "story": "Manhattan does not have a wing style of its own. What it has is bars that import Buffalo's and keep them open until the West Coast games finish, and Blondies is the Upper West Side's.\n\nThe ownership is on the record where it matters: NYC Tourism, the city's own visitor bureau, describes it as female-owned and \"one of the city's few women-owned sports bars.\" Neither that listing nor any other page read here names the owner.\n\nThe all-you-can-eat wing night is the room's best-known offer and the least stable fact about it. NYC Tourism puts it on Monday nights. A local listings site writing in June 2026 warns the other way: \"The all-you-can-eat wings deal has come and gone over the years — check whether it's running before counting on it.\" Both are in the record; a reader crossing town on a Monday should ring first.",
  "how": "Fried and sauced in the Buffalo manner, served with the game. Time Out's phrase for the kitchen is \"greasy pub grub like wings and burgers,\" which is the compliment a sports bar is fishing for.",
  "today": "Open seven days as of September 2026. Closing times run late and disagree between sources: Time Out's listing runs 1am Sunday and Monday to 4am Friday and Saturday, while a 2026 listings page puts weeknights nearer midnight and says game days run longer."
