Closings: Buffalo Wild Wings on 1st Avenue

Photo by Daniel Efram 

After two years in business, Buffalo Wild Wings has closed at 225 First Ave. between 13th Street and 14th Street. 

Someone has removed the signage from the storefront, and the address is no longer on the BWW website. There wasn't any closing notice. 

The sports bar chain has 1,300 outposts across the country, including several in the NYC metropolitan area. 

When BWW arrived, there were four wing joints on First Avenue between St. Mark's Place and 14th Street — and all four have closed, including Dan and John's, Atomic Wings, and Koko Wings. 

The Wingstop remains around the corner on 14th Street between Avenue A and First Avenue. 

The previous tenant at No. 225 was Crab Du Jour.

Confirming that Buffalo Wild Wings for 1st Avenue

The other week we spotted opening soon signage on the plywood outside 225 First Ave. for Buffalo Wild Wings here between 13th Street and 14th Street.

This location isn't on the chain's website... and corporate didn't respond to our request for info.

However! We can confirm that this address will be home to a Buffalo Wild Wings. EVG correspondent Steven got a look inside the space the other day ... Wings! Fries! Drinks!

The BWW will make for the fourth wings joint on First Avenue between St. Mark's Place and 14th Street (Dan and John's, Atomic Wings, Koko Wings) ... plus, there's Wingstop around the corner on 14th Street between Avenue A and First Avenue.

This retail space was most recently, for a year, Crab Du Jour. 

From crabs to wings on 1st Avenue?

Opening soon signs are posted on the plywood outside 225 First Ave. for Buffalo Wild Wings here between 13th Street and 14th Street...

Given this era of fake coming soon signage, we contacted BWW's corporate office to verify the arrival. (We will update if they respond.) BWW has other locations in and around the metropolitan area, so it wouldn't be a shocker if they decided to open one here.

And they may have some good consumer data. If this is legit, this makes for the fourth wings joint on First Avenue between St. Mark's Place and 14th Street (Dan and John's, Atomic Wings, Koko Wings) ... not to mention Wingstop around the corner on 14th Street between Avenue A and First Avenue.
