Gotta love the name! the name alone makes you want to call em up and say PLUCK YOU! This place has thee absolute BEST buffalo wings I have ever had! Now, I know youre all “well you said the same thing about the Olive Tree’s buffalo wings”. That’s because they taste EXACTLY the same (and theyre right around the corner from each other…hmmmm)

Just thinking about the sauce is making my mouth water. I usually get “medium” sauce on my wings, and a side of mild sauce to dowse them in. They have 4 choices of hot sauces which are mild, medium, hot and DEATH and if youre not into hot sauce you can get Barbeque (which is a little bit spicy) or Gold sauce (i dont know wtf that is but it tastes good too). I recommend getting Medium, because its spicy enough for a kick, but it wont make your nose run. I dont have time to be plugging my nose when Im inhaling my wings. People always ask me “Is the DEATH sauce really hot?”…what do YOU THINK!? Its called DEATH! I licked it once and fainted! Im exaggerating but u get the point.

I also really love their bleu cheese dipping sauce. I dont even LIKE bleu cheese sauce but I LOVE theirs! I dont know what they put in it or what they do to it but it is FANTASTIC! Im telling you, even if you dont like bleu cheese sauce, at least try it. You might love it! It tastes nothing like regular bleu cheese sauce. But if youre with your date, pass on that sauce because your breath will be KICKIN after you eat it!

Speaking of your significant other, dont go there for a date because you will be highly upset. This is a take out place. There is barely anywhere to sit. Its so small you’ll have to take turns to chew. Its also kinda dusty in there since they moved from their old location. They used to have a really cute space right on West 3rd street. But their lease expired and rent isnt cheap so they had to move to a hole. I miss the old place. It was more trendy and Tyson Bekford used to eat there a lot (with his fine self!). Since they moved everyone takes their food to go.

Aside from wings they have really great all white meat chicken fingers (Sidebar: Dont eat the chicken fingers WITH the curly fries. This combonation gives me the bubbleguts EVERY TIME! eat either one or the other, NOT BOTH!). They also have mozzarella sticks (which I like to dip in mild sauce, I dont like marinara), onion rings (I dip these in bleu cheese), fresh cut fries, curly fries, grilled chicken sandwiches and wraps etc. I say “etc” because Pluck U has gone OVERBOARD with their menu. They need to stick to the plan. I first discovered this restaurant in the 90s, and they had a basic menu with the aforementioned dishes. But now they have fried chicken, burgers, munchers, and a bunch of mess that doest need to be in there like JAMAICAN FOOD!

WTF ARE YALL DOING WITH JAMAICAN FOOD? Youre a buffalo wing spot! I dont want curry chicken with rice & peas from a damn buffalo wing place. I LOVE Jamaican food! Even the chain variety (*cough* Golden Krust)..but I dont want to get my beef patties from a damn buffalo wing store. Stick to the theme. That really annoys me! Thats like when TV Land started showing “CSI”! that is some BS! I like CSI but I dont want to see it on TV Land after “I Love Lucy”. I digress.

If you’re in the Greenwich Village area and youre in the mood for some wings to go, definitely go to Pluck U! If you want some wings, but youre in a “to stay” type of mood…then go around the corner to The Olive Tree Cafe.

Wanna buy me a cookie?
