Look, it’s a bird! No, not up there. Look lower. On the ground. Of the fowl sorts. Off the corner of Nostrand and Union comes Super Wings, a wings joint with a tasty Caribbean twist. Being from Florida, wings are one of my ultimate delights. When my wife told me one was being built, my heart fluttered. I mean, you can’t watch the Gators on the road to win another championship without wings, right? Living off Nostrand Avenue & Eastern Parkway, I thought to myself, “Well, the best you can ever hope for now is jerk and roti.” Thanks to Super Wings, I won’t have to cry myself to sleep anymore.
 
I happened to stroll over there on a recent Thursday night, expecting to see an empty store but to my surprise it was relatively packed. Looking at the menu, I wanted to try something safe. Although, Bajan Merry Mango and Ginger Buff sound delightful, I decided to get the Chili Cilantro. (In fact, I don’t think I would ever want to encounter a buff Ginger). I had heard from the forums that I could order by the pound, and since I knew my wife would kill me if I inhaled a full pound of meat, I decided to get a half. Hey, what can you say? I’m health conscious.

With all the people at the store, I was actually glad I brought my headphones and squatted on the window sill. With a view into the kitchen, I noticed joyful workers. Matter of fact, whatever the cook was listening to, I probably should have had. While he was cooking up my dinner, he was dancing a happy jig. A dancing cook? In New York? My eyes were checking his smock for a fifth of rum.

Nevertheless, at the end of my brief entertainment, my order was up. I was shocked. Fast service! An automatic A. If the food could satisfy me like the customer service did, I’ll give it the plus. To be truthful, I didn’t get my hopes up. The best wings I know of to get anywhere are at Dick’s Wings in North Florida (I can’t wait to go back!). Upon sinking my teeth into them I won’t say my mind was changed, but I will say they definitely get an A+. Remarkably scrumptious. So here’s my suggestion: next time the Giants, er, Trini futbol team amps up, amble on down to Super Wings. They are open late on Saturdays and Sundays now. Make sure you get the S on your chest.
