Foodswings & Penny Licks on Thursday














Headed out to see Endless Blockade, Magrudergrind, and Unearthly Trance on Thursday at The Charleston in Williamsburg.
Met up with John and Jae off the subway to get some food at Foodswings. I've been dying to go there in previous trips to NY and am now bummed that I missed out. This place will definitely be in my top eats from now on. They specialize in vegan fast food with no frills dining, open late, tons of fried foods.
Holy shit, overwhelming menu. I decided to get the buffalo wings based on John's recommendation, and I was not disappointed! So amazing!! Going to have to say the best buffalo wings I've had so far. The breading was perfection, tender fake meat on a wooden stick. They provide you with an amazing ranch dipping sauce, that isn't even needed because the wings are so flavorful on their own, but definitely a perk. I also ordered a side of the original mac n cheese. The 3 piece and mac n cheese came in a special for something like $8.75 and were served up on a cafeteria style lunch tray.
The mac n cheese was so-so, I've had better. As a hot sauce lover, I'm always pleased when my food doesn't "need" hot sauce, but this definitely needed something to spice it up. I used the remnants of the buffalo sauce on the mac and it was even tastier.

Broke off from the dudes, headed to the show. Grabbed a beer and chatted with Logan. It hadn't started yet so Logan, Chris and I decided to walk around with some pals. We ended up at this pizza place and I made some new friends, Dave and Mike. We all headed over to Penny Licks a few storefronts down for some ice cream.
Dairy and dairy free specialties with an assortment of Vegan Treats items.
Chris grabbed a goodie bag of cookies and deserts and we all got "penny licks" cones, which are tiny cones with two scoops of ice cream FOR A DOLLAR!!!!
Pumpkin pie ice cream was had and SO DELICIOUS! The perfect amount of ice cream. It was super creamy and flavorful, the ice cream to cone ratio was right on.
Amazing food, amazing show.
