I have walked by Cercle Rouge so many times, a French bistro in Tribeca, without walking in, but always being curious. Well, last week, I stopped in with one thing on my mind: the chicken wings. I know a foodie friend that raved about them, so I needed to check them out.

The space is much larger than I expected, and has the perfect bistro feel. But you will forget about the space after you take one bite of the Cercle Rouge house special wings ($10). These are the best "buffalo" style chicken wings in NYC! It is an upscale version of wings, and the flavor and texture is beautiful. The accompanying blue cheese is perfect, and the shredded celery is a very nice French touch. I love these wings, and cannot stop thinking about them! A side of fries was just fine, but those wings are unbelievable!

So head down to Tribeca for the city's best upscale "buffalo" style chicken wings. Wings this good should be illegal.
