New York Post10-07-2025
There's new competition in the world of crispy chicken.

3 McDonald's Snack Wraps are officially back on the menu as of July 10.

Snack Wraps have been off the menu at the Golden Arches for nearly a decade, but as of 10:30 a.m. on July 10, fans can now take solace in knowing that the beloved bites are here to stay.
The Snack Wrap features one of McDonald's new McCrispy Strips, topped with crisp shredded lettuce and shredded cheese, all wrapped in a soft flour tortilla.
In this iteration, it comes in two different flavors:

McD's diners who have been anxiously waiting for the release of the Snack Wrap woke up excited for its return.
'HAPPY SNACK WRAP DAY TO ALL THOSE WHO CELEBRATE,' someone exclaimed.
'Mind ur business if you see me at McDonald's tomorrow ordering 20 snack wraps…. I've been waiting years for this day!' one person posted on X.

'You won,' McDonald's said on Instagram.
'This is what victory feels like, folks,' a fan responded.

'Getting emotional,' another said.
Both versions of the Snack Wrap cost $2.99 — and in a bid to compete with the highly beloved fast-food item, other chains are plucking out their own chicken wrap deals.
Taco Bell
Taco Bell threw shade at McDonald's by reminding their customers that their answer to the crispy chicken wrap is not new — it's been around for a whole 24 days.
The fast-food chain introduced Crispy Chicken Tacos, Burritos and Strips to its menus for a limited time back in June.
'Babe, what's wrong u haven't wished us a happy 24-day anniversary of crispy chicken,' the chain's Instagram post read.
There's even a Partiful event for the occasion, where Taco Bell shared that on July 10 only, the day the Snack Wrap is released, customers can get a crispy chicken burrito or taco for $2.40.

'It's not often that a restaurant has crispy chicken tacos and burritos on the menu for 24 whole days- but it's finally our chance,' the event description quibbled.
The deal is exclusively for reward members and is limited to one per customer.
Popeyes
3 Popeyes is offering free chicken wraps this week.

The chain announced that chicken lovers can get a free Popeyes Chicken Wrap from July 10 to 13 at U.S. locations. Normally, they cost $3.99 each.
'The Wrap Wars are officially on and Popeyes is way ahead of the game,' the chain wrote in an email to PEOPLE.
'While one familiar fast food chain scrambles to launch wraps of their own on July 10, Popeyes has already been serving up heat all summer long,' they added, hitting back at McDonald's.
Popeyes announced the addition of Chicken Wraps to its menu just one day before McDonald's announced the date of the Snack Wrap's return.

Giveon Reveals 'Beloved' Album Secrets at Urban 1 Summit

Source: R1 Digital / R1 At the Urban 1 Summit, Grammy-nominated singer Giveon sat down for an intimate interview, offering fans a glimpse into the artistry behind his latest album, Beloved , and sharing personal anecdotes that make his music so relatable. The album, which Giveon described as 'expansive, classy, lush, and luxe,' is a reflection of his growth as both an artist and a man. The title, Beloved , holds a special connection, inspired by a term of endearment his grandfather often used for his grandmother. 'It's one of those classic words—timeless and full of meaning,' he explained.

He singled out a poignant line from Strangers , the album's fourth track, 'How we go from 'I love you' to 'How you been?'' The artist candidly revealed how the song draws from his own experiences, resonating with listeners who have navigated the complexities of love and loss. Adding a humorous touch, Giveon also mentioned lyrics from another track, where he recalls attempting to reconnect with someone who had blocked him by texting their mom. His willingness to channel personal vulnerabilities into music is a hallmark of his work, underscoring the album's raw honesty. 'Even if you don't like my music, know it's all true,' he said. Beyond music, Giveon shared personal loves, including his favorite dish, chicken tikka masala, and his admiration for New York's vibrant jazz scene. However, he remains an L.A. boy at heart, cherishing its perfect weather and laid-back vibe.

Where to Dine with Babies, and Other Reader Questions

Well, well, well, if it isn't my favorite thing to do. Let's answer some reader questions, my friends! I'll be doing these on a monthly basis, giving my new co-writer, Luke, a much-needed break from scouring the city for dollar slices, tofu hot dogs and brain tacos. As for the rest of you, please keep the reader questions coming! I want your restaurant requests, the more specific the better, and I'll take them in a few forms: via email at wheretoeat@ as a submission in this form, and on my Instagram, where I'll post story prompts for you. This week, I'll dive into questions from readers seeking an actually good German restaurant, a taste of Brooklyn 2000s nostalgia, and a restaurant where parents can pridefully roll in with strollers. Are there any good German restaurants left in New York City? Most are mediocre at best and expensive for what they serve. — Mason There sure are, and Zum Stamtisch, a beloved institution since 1972, is one of them. The room alone — carpeted, paneled with dark wood and decorated with antique steins and taxidermy — felt to me as if it were airlifted straight from Heidelberg to Glendale, Queens. In keeping with tradition, you should get a steering wheel-size pretzel, served warm with two types of mustard and biting horseradish sauce, and a wurstplatte with housemade smoked wursts and kraut (a steal, by the way, at $20). My favorite bite, I was surprised to find, is an American invention: the bratburger. It's a delightful little sandwich served on a toasted English muffin with a taut, springy bratwurst patty and two thick slices of ham under a blanket of melted Swiss cheese. 69-46 Myrtle Avenue (70th Street), Glendale Want all of The Times?
