The Best Places to Watch the Giants Beat the Eagles

On Sunday, the New York Giants will play the Philadelphia Eagles for a chance to play for a chance to play in the Superbowl, and you can be damn sure every restaurant and bar in the city with a screen and a business sense will be looking to fatten you up with irresistible gameday specials. Here's a rundown of prime places in New York to watch Eli Manning and the Giants clip the Eagles' wings, or the Eagles ... peck out the Giants' ... eyes? Whatever:
● Southern Hospitality (Upper East Side) - Justin Timberlake's Memphis mock-up makes no qualms about who it's rooting for. Their menu includes a smoked eagle (turkey), clipped eagle wings, and the Big Blue Bird Crusher (blue frozen margarita), as well as Plaxico shots ($2 whenever the Giants score).
● Village Pourhouse (East Village) - With more TVs than a Best Buy, they offer $10 pitchers of Bud Light, a buffalo wing platter for $40 (includes a pitcher of bud light), $29 buckets of imported beer, and Giants trivia throughout the game—the prize for each question being one hour open bar. iPhones count as cheating.
● 4040 (Flatiron) - Believe it or not, people still come here to watch sports. Owner Jay-Z doesn’t, but he isn’t really “people.” Check their website for specials.
● Brother Jimmy’s (Midtown) - Will attempt to prove their BBQ prowess by offering an all-you-can-eat rib dinner at $22.95, including all-you-can-drink draft Bud and Bud Light. OK, that’s pretty good, but the offer is just two hours long and starts once the food arrives at the table.
● Mudville 9 (Tribeca) - Offering 20 oz. premium beers for $5, as well as something kooky called the Wing Ding, which includes all you can eat wings, fries and beer, for two hours, for only $23. See? Kooky.
● Tenjune (Meatpacking District) - The Giants celebrated at this sleek basement enclave following their Superbowl victory, and Eli Manning was there last Friday getting a b-day lapdance from the missus, and that defeats any game-winning catch. If they win again, expect giant antics here this Tuesday night.

Go Giants! I cant wait to see what happens if they make the Super Bowl.
And kudos to all these places for supporting our team, I’ll be sure to stop by Southern Hospitality which is not only a personal fave but one of the best places in the city to catch a game or any event for that matter.
