Enjoy a twist on the traditional chicken wing over at the newly opened David's Café in the East Village. You have our permission to dive into Chef David Malbequi's Buffalo Chicken Poutine ($16), sit back, and relish in a nice long food coma. This decadent dish is made with a plate of French fries, piles of crispy chicken thighs, and is topped with homemade buffalo sauce, bleu cheese, and mozzarella chicken gravy. And don't forget the crispy shallots and chives for some extra crunch and flavor. Pair it with their Super Bowl special cocktail: the Hail Mary, a traditional Bloody Mary made with untraditional cilantro and red pepper infused Dolin Blanc in a BBQ-sauced-and-salted rim. The garnish is another stunner thanks to the lemon wheel, cilantro sprig, and smoked chicken wing strung through the straw. Because you might as well go big on Super Bowl Sunday, right?
