15 Restaurants where you can celebrate Graduation 2015

One of the most low-key, new restaurants to come out offering the ubiquitous buffalo wings, you’ll surely love Buffalo’s Wings ‘n’ Things’ range of sauces slathered on their wings or juicy tenders. This March, graduates who present their diploma get one free order of half-pound wings with a minimum spend of Php500.

We suggest you try at least three of their sauces and brave their spiciest chicken as your most daring act after graduating. Make sure you visit their branches before April 2015.
