UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — Buffalo Wild Wings is coming to the Upper East Side.

According to new signage raised up over a former Taco Bell at 1258 Lexington Ave., a Buffalo Wild Wings Go is opening soon.

This will be an iteration of the popular wing chain's take-out only storefronts — a smaller version of their large, sit-down eateries, typically filled with an overwhelming number of television screens in all directions.

At these so-called "Go" locations, there's not much seating at all and will mostly serve as hubs for customers to pick-up their to-go orders, which includes the chain's famous wings, fries, burgers, tenders and their array of sauces.

Currently there are two Buffalo Wild Wings Go locations in Manhattan, with one in Kips Bay and another on First Avenue just below East 14th Street.
