New Haven a Great College Town

If you didn’t already know it, New Haven is a great college town.

There’s Yale University, Southern Connecticut State University, Gateway Community College, Albertus Magnus College, and the Berkeley Divinity School. 

Some of the best and brightest difference-makers in our world come from these schools.

While we can’t help them academically, we can help them keep the energy they’ll need for all their studying and extracurricular activities.

At Wings Over New Haven, we offer free delivery of all the awesome food and beverages that these hardworking students want.

Feel like some wings? Maybe some ribs? Perhaps a wrap or sandwich? Give us a call at 203-782-9464 or order online.

Afraid it’s too late? Don’t worry, we’re open late every night! From Sunday through Thursday, we’re open until 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, we’re open until 2 a.m.

If you’re a student at Southern Connecticut State University, we even have a special treat for you.

Every Tuesday in October, Wings Over New Haven will be hosting Total Takeover Tuesdays, where one dorm on campus will receive free wings that day.

Individuals must live in a dorm, “like” the Wings Over New Haven Facebook page, and then post on the page using the hashtag #totaltakeovertuesday.

One lucky winner will then be selected and Wings Over New Haven will show up at the dorm with wings and coupons for them and their friends.

We love our college students and want to make sure they always have plenty to eat!

History of the Connecticut Wings Over Locations

Did you know that there are five Wings Over locations right here in Connecticut?

Wings Over Storrs was the first location, opening approximately nine years ago. After that, the West Hartford, Newington and Bristol locations were opened.

Wings Over New Haven is the newest location, opening in April 2013.

Wings Over was started in 1999 by two guys who didn’t like the direction that restaurant food was headed.

Most places that served the food they loved were just reheating food that was cooked in a factory somewhere.

They decided to change that.

Since building and finishing a dining room was extremely cost prohibitive, they decided to deliver their fresh, hand cooked wings and boneless wings to people and let them eat it at their own home.

Things began to grow pretty quickly with many success and some failures.

Even though the company goal was to be the best and not necessarily the biggest wing delivery place in the country, there are almost 30 stores today and growing.

Hope to see you soon!

If you're hungry now, give us a call at 203-782-9464 (WING) or order online.

Wings the Perfect Takeout for College Students

When you’re in college, there are a lot of things that will keep you from cooking at home – or in your dorm.

Late night study sessions, partying, and just not feeling like cooking are just a few reasons that takeout is very popular among college students.

Pair that with easy takeout ordering options, small cooking spaces, small food budgets, and little time for food preparation and it’s no wonder college students turn to takeout for meals.

Wings, fries, and salad are in the top five foods college students order most, according to GrubHub.

Luckily for the college students in the New Haven area, Wings Over New Haven has easy ordering options – including online – and has wings, fries, and salads – along with so much more.

Oh, and we also offer free delivery. We’re also open late (11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday), so you can get something no matter what time of day it is!

So whether you’re studying, partying, or just don’t feel like cooking – we’ve got you covered. You can get all the delicious food you want without having to do any of the work!

Hungry?

Wings Over New Haven a Challenge Location Sponsor for the New Haven Urban Scavenger Race

Are you ready to race?

We are!

This year, Wings Over New Haven is a challenge location sponsor for the 2014 New Haven Urban Scavenger Race on Sept. 20.

Competitors will need to visit Wings Over New Haven and consume a special chicken wing that will be provided. After this is done, they will cross it off their list and move on to the next clue location. Competitors will also have to take pictures of the location as proof that they were here.

Registration for the race must be done by Sept. 19. Teams may have two to four members and at least one team member must be 21 years old or older.

The race will begin at noon at Geronimo’s Tequila Bar and Southwestern Grill in New Haven.

During the race, participants will work together to solve clues, discover local sites, businesses and more – all while giving back to the community and having fun.

Only public transportation may be used, meaning participants may walk, take a bus, or ride the free trolley. Teams will be penalized for using private transportation like taxis, bicycles, unicycles, mopeds, scooters, segways, etc.

The team that correctly solves the most clues in the shortest amount of time wins a prize. The team with the best team costume also wins a prize!

Each participant will leave with a goodie bag of coupons and discounts from the sponsors.

No pets are allowed. Participants should bring a pen or pencil, smartphone or camera, smartphone adapter, and money for water, snacks, etc. Participants should also wear sneakers.

The beneficiary of the race is Public Allies of Connecticut, which is a New Haven AmeriCorps program that advances the new leadership to strengthen communities, nonprofits, and civic participation through a 10-month apprenticeship program. The members (Public Allies) are talented, emerging leaders from the communities that are served. 

Look forward to seeing you on the 20th!

There's Nothing Better Than Wings and Beer

There’s no better combination than wings and beer.

Need some help pairing your wings with the right kinds of beer?

Wings Over New Haven can help you out.

When pairing beer with wings, it’s more about the sauce than the meat. Conventional wisdom in the beer world says that malty beers tone down the heat while hoppy beers enhance it.

This may not always be the case though.

Some feel that bitter brews wash the palate clean, brushing away the oils that set your mouth ablaze.

Buffalo wings have big, brash flavors that need an equally brazen beer to tackle them. American pale ales and IPAs will do the trick. Both have bracing bitterness and juicy, citrus, hop flavors that will complement and contrast the searing wing sauce.

An IPA will have a bit more sweet malt backbone that can counter the saltiness of the underlying chicken. IPA also goes great with blue cheese.

If you prefer your wings on the milder side, try a German or Bohemian Pilsner. A crisp, clean profile and dry finish keep it light and drinkable, so you won’t be weighed down. Snappy bitterness stops the heat and crisp hop flavors will work well with the side of celery.

Bohemian Pilsner has a stronger malt backbone to balance the hop bite. The German version is all about hops, more bitter, and with a drier finish.

You could also try an all-malt, craft-brewed American Lager. It’s like the macro stuff but with a bit more flavor and body.

You’re now officially ready for football season! So grab your beer and give us a call at 203-782-9464 or order online. And with our free delivery, you don't even have to drive to pick it up!

Wings Over New Haven Not Just Serving Wings

Looking for something for lunch while at work or after a workout?

Wings Over New Haven has just what you’re looking for. 

Major D, from Iron Will Fitness, stopped by to check out some of the food we offer, including our grilled chicken Caesar salad. 

When you’re at work and need something quickly, you can call us ahead of time and we’ll deliver it right to your work place.

The salad got the approval from Major D, who said that it’s about lifestyle and some people are really tight on their eating plan. He said this would be a great suggestion for those people, and also liked it because people won’t feel full and sluggish after eating it.

While we may be known for our wings, that isn’t the only great food we have to offer. 

Check out our menu and then give us a call at 203-782-WING, stop in, or order online.
