Ah, Super Bowl Sunday. It's one of the best times of the year for intense sports fans – and for the rest of us, it's the pop culture Olympics with hilarious commercials and incredible Half Time performances.
Super Bowl LV will be one of the most historic yet, not only because it's happening in the middle of a pandemic, but also because it's the first to occur between the two previous Super Bowl winning quarterbacks, Tom Brady of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (formerly the New England Patriots) and Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs.
No matter which team you’re rooting for, one thing is certain: you need a deliciously-massive spread of food.
We’ve curated a list of the best Super Bowl dining options for New Yorkers to enjoy this game. Whether you’re craving a juicy burger and onion rings, want to dine outdoors or need vegan options to host your friends, we’ve got you covered.
