If you can’t make it to the Meadowlands to watch The NFL Super Bowl XLVIII, there’s no need to watch the Big Game from home. Gather up all your pigskin fanatics at one of the restaurants in NYC transforming into a football haven for special viewing parties. Enjoy every touchdown–or drown your sorrows–at these football bars we’ve found just for your celebrations. The party doesn’t have to start on Sunday, as top bars in NYC are offering Super Bowl parties lasting the entire weekend for your enjoyment!
