In an effort to expand on its already popular menu, [Nathan's Famous](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-spicy-beef-franks) announced that it would be launching a new ghost concept called Wings of New York from its restaurant's kitchens.

Specializing in Harlem-style malted waffles, chicken wings, tenders, French fries, and more—the concept features a full a la carte menu that consumers can access via delivery. All of the dishes are prepared at Nathan's Famous kitchens, and can be ordered through third party delivery platforms like UberEats, Grubhub, [Postmates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-impossible-shop), and [DoorDash](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drone-delivery-1). Currently, Wings of New York is only available to consumers in New York City, however Nathan's Famous plans to expand the new menu to other locations in the near future—bringing it across the US.
