Watching the Super Bowl in a Different Way
Your apartment’s a no-go for Sunday (turns out, that floor-to-waterbed renovation is running both over budget and over schedule). What you’ll do: cancel the 21-foot falafel, inform your doorman he’s off bartending duty and take the party on the road. Below: six spots that’ll still deliver the comforts and delicacies you require.
