New York: Top 10 Places to Watch the Super Bowl

1. Southern Hospitality (Upper East Side) - The 14 HD TVs and a large HD projection screen aren't the real excess here -- that's the $80 premium VIP package. All you can drink, all you can eat appetizers (the fried pickles are absurd), and guaranteed seating to make sure once the fat is on, it stays on. Free Jim Beam from 4 to 6 only sweetens the deal. The place to be.
2. 40/40 (Flatiron) - Like stepping into a hip-hop video, minus the fisheye. All-white, super sleek. Oh, and Kobe Bryant is holding a party for his Laker friends and all the video hos this side of the Bronx.
3. Village Pourhouse (Greenwich Village) - 50 bottles, around 24 drafts at any given moment. But with the $30 all you can drink Bud Light draft from kickoff until end of the game, we both know what you'll be drinking.

4. Bounce Deuce (East Village) - Brother Jimmy’s too packed? Go here. The website actually advertises their “eye candy staff,” so if the game is a blowout, other entertainment awaits.
5. Brass Monkey (Meatpacking District) - Didn’t take a set of brass balls to figure out the MePa needed a solid spot for unpretentious quaffing. Emerald Isle vibe, so while the rest of country is drowning in Coors Light, get dead to the world on good ol’ Guinness.
6. Hudson Bar at the Hudson Hotel (Midtown West) - Class it up on the least-classy day of the year. Special food menu and complimentary Peroni from 5 to 6.
7. Abbey Pub (Upper West Side) - Annual tradition of serving the host city’s local cuisine. So like what, alligator burgers?
8. Lucky Strike Lanes (Midtown West) - All-day party and beer specials. Plus, what better thing to do during the Super Bowl than to bowl!
9. Brother Jimmy’s (Various Locations) - Sure it’s a chain, but don’t deny its power. The Super Bowl is their Super Bowl. Expect the words all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink to be tossed around freely at this vaguely Southern BBQ joint.
10. Monkey Town (Williamsburg) - Monkey Town = Drunky Town. Four wall-sized screens and a $30 food and drink minimum, but if you weren’t planning on spending that much, you don’t deserve to be watching the Super Bowl anyway.
