Anchor Bar Opening New Location Outside Of New York

They are the bar credited for inventing the "Buffalo wing."  Now, they're opening up a new location in another state.

Where was the Buffalo wing actually invented?

While there has been a bit of a debate over where the Buffalo wing was actually invented, most stories will lead you to The Anchor Bar.  They'll tell you that the co-owner at the time Teressa Bellisimo had made them as a late-night snack for her sons.  They liked them so much that they put them on the menu the next day and they blew up from there.
