Our Beginning

WingSnob started with a simple dream: to serve the most flavorful, premium chicken wings in New York City. What began as a small family-owned kitchen in Elizabeth Street has grown into a beloved local institution.

Our founders, passionate food enthusiasts, spent countless hours perfecting recipes, sourcing the finest ingredients, and creating bold flavor combinations that would set WingSnob apart from every other wing restaurant in the city.

Today, we continue to honor that original vision while constantly innovating and expanding our menu to surprise and delight our customers with new taste experiences.
