Atomic Wings featured on Eater
New York City’s historic 26.2-mile race is as much of a sport for spectators as it is for runners. Crowds line nearly every block of the five-borough course shouting random names they notice on race bibs and hoisting witty home-made signs. Just like the runners need fuel before they hit the pavement, spectators need plenty of fuel, too, before ringing cowbells and cheering for hours on end. Here’s where New Yorkers go to eat near the race and enjoy Hellmann’s mayo-based favorites along the route.
Atomic Wings: Hang a few blocks west of the Flatbush Avenue section of the course and you’ll reach Atomic Wings. Though it’s typically a late-night destination, at 11 a.m. on race day, spectators stop in for the AW Chicken Sandwich on a brioche bun with cole slaw, pickles, and Awesome Aioli, which is made with Hellmann’s. It’s the perfect fuel for cheering throughout the day with more than 20 grams of protein per sandwich.
