Enjoy the Super Bowl from New York City

Although New York City can't host the Super Bowl (they say the weather here is too cold), you can still enjoy the Super Bowl while you're here. Watch the Super Bowl at a great sports bar or check out some of the other options if you want to avoid the Super Bowl.

NYRR Gridiron Classic & Longest Football Toss

Before you plant yourself on the couch to watch the Super Bowl, get some exercise at this annual New York race and football toss competition. During the race, you can vote with your feet for the team you think will win the Super Bowl later in the day. If your team wins, you’ll be entered in a raffle for special prizes.

Joshua Tree

Three twelve foot screens ensure you'll have a good view of the game if you pick this Upper East Side bar to drink at while you watch the Super Bowl.

Proof

This Gramercy bar offers the ability to watch games like you do at a traditional sports bar, with a touch of class. They have two plasma screens and a projection tv that ensure you'll be able to enjoy the game without all the frat boys and lockeroom feel of many sports bars.

Ship of Fools

With 36 TVs, including 8 large screens, this Upper East Side sports bar offers extensive viewing options from the Super Bowl to any other sporting events you may want to watch.

Super Bowl Party Food

Hosting a Super Bowl party at home this year? From the CBS Early Show, Chef Erik Blauberg, executive chef at New York City's legendary "21" Club, shares his Super Bowl party menu that serves 8 for under $60.

ESPN Zone

This Times Square bar has so many TVs, there are even some in the bathroom. Although slightly cookie-cutterish and often full of tourists, it is a safe choice for Super Bowl watching.
