FRIDAYS ARE FOR FRANK: “Wing And A Prayer”

A lot of people know that Francis Albert Sinatra was born at 415 Monroe Street in Hoboken. But did you know he was baptized at St. Francis Church (308 Jefferson St.), “The Little Church with the Big Heart”?

This Saturday is their annual ‘A Wing And A Prayer’ cook-off at the Elk’s Club (1005 Washington Street) on Attendees will be tasked with judging and crowning the “Best Chicken Wings in Hoboken”—not something that should be taken lightly.

Year after year, Hoboken’s extremely generous hospitality community comes together to celebrate the culinary achievement that is the chicken wing—all while helping to support St. Francis Church (308 Jefferson Street), Hoboken’s “Little Church With A Big Heart.” Proceeds from this event will go towards the St. Francis Food Pantry, which feeds up to 60 individuals EACH DAY while delivering bags of groceries to nearly 100 families in need each month.

Reigning champ, Carpe Diem Pub & Restaurant, puts their divine wings on the line against:

• Bin 14
• Carpe Diem
• City Bistro
• Dark Side of the Moo
• The Farside Tavern
• The Green Rock
• House of ‘Que
• Hudson Tavern
• Madison Bar & Grill
• Northern Soul
• Tony Boloney’s

The winner gets bragging rights and THIS absolutely amazing trophy:

Thank you for everyone coming and showing their support! Best wings in Hoboken, 4th year in a row! #seizetheday #bestwings #carpediemhoboken
