Where to Watch Super Bowl LI in New York City
The Super Bowl may as well be a national holiday - the big game comes with its own set of traditions and culture, most of which include chicken wings and cold beer. We here at Drink NYC have compiled the best restaurants and bars who seek to honor these traditions with staple game day snacks and plenty of drink specials.
Beauty and Essex
While the Super Bowl doesn’t exactly bring to mind high-end cocktails, it will now. This hip bar and lounge offers a pre-game cocktail hour right before kickoff, including complimentary shots of Jagermeister, Maker’s Mark, and Stella Artois based cocktail concoctions. Once the game kicks off, indulge in an onslaught of football game essentials, including pulled pork sliders and wings. (146 Essex St.; 212-614-0146)
There’s no better way way to watch all the action than on a big screen - and we mean a really big screen. Nitehawk cinema features seat-side service, which means snacks and drink specials tailored to each team will be served to you as you kick back and watch the Super Bowl. Make sure to purchase a $30 food and drink voucher before hand to secure your reservation for game day. (136 Metropolitan Ave., Brooklyn; 718-782-8370)
