Just in time for that other bird holiday, Atomic Wings opened its first outlet in Park Slope on Nov. 4, giving Brooklynites a taste of what many believe has been the most-elusive snack in the borough — the perfect Buffalo chicken wing.

“At first, I was skeptical of this place, but after I tried it the day it opened, I was pleasantly surprised, ” said Dustin Morales, who was tucking into a 10-piece order the other day. “I’ve been back twice already this week.”

Teddy Getz, a spokesperson for the chain, which has three freestanding restaurants and three outlets inside bars in Manhattan, said the franchise was as excited as the customers to see the “New York City institution” arrive in Brooklyn.

“We have a commitment to serving a variety of both quality and nutritious food,” said Getz, mentioning not only the high quality, but the chain’s “no trans fat” promise.

Atomic Wings (321 Ninth St. between Fifth and Sixth avenues in Park Slope) is open seven days a week, 10 am to 11 pm. All major credit cards. Call (718) 768-5665 or visit atomicwings.com for information.— Emily Lavin
