Where to Stay in New York

1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge

With Manhattan skyline views from its rooftop pool and bar, 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge is the most stylish way to experience New York from the Brooklyn side. The sustainably designed property draws a fashion, music, and sports creative crowd, and sits a short Uber from Barclays Center for Nets games and major concerts.

The Mark Hotel

Ultra-luxury hotel on the Upper East Side, one block from Central Park and the Met. The Mark is the unofficial headquarters of Met Gala weekend, with celebrities getting ready in its penthouse suite — the largest hotel penthouse in the US. Jean-Georges Vongerichten runs the restaurant.

The Plaza Hotel

A National Historic Landmark on Fifth Avenue at Central Park South, The Plaza has hosted presidents, royalty, and sports legends since 1907. Its Palm Court, Oak Room, and opulent suites make it the ultimate luxury base for fans attending events at MSG, just a short cab ride away.

The Standard, High Line

André Balazs' glass-towered hotel straddling the High Line with the Boom Boom Room — NYC's most-photographed rooftop. Rihanna, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kendall Jenner.

The Stanton Hotel

Centrally located on the Lower East Side, The Stanton Hotel puts fans within easy reach of Madison Square Garden and multiple transit lines to all of New York's major sports venues. The stylish rooms and rooftop bar make it a comfortable base for a sports-focused trip to the city. Staff are happy to recommend the best local sports bars for every team and sport.

Where to Eat in New York

Joe's Pizza

The quintessential New York slice. Joe's Pizza in Greenwich Village has been serving perfectly thin, foldable pizza since 1975. A late-night celebrity favorite — Spider-Man was filmed eating here, and real-life celebs from Zendaya to Justin Bieber have been spotted grabbing slices. Cash only, no pretense, just great pizza.

Carbone

One of New York's most coveted reservations, Carbone in Greenwich Village serves elevated Italian-American cuisine in a retro-glamorous setting. A favorite of Zendaya, Drake, and A-list celebrities. Famous for the spicy rigatoni vodka and the veal parmesan. Reservations are notoriously difficult to secure.

Catch NYC

Multi-level seafood hotspot in the Meatpacking District where every night feels like a Page Six party. Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd.

Elbow Room

Elbow Room near Columbus Circle is a popular game-day restaurant and bar that serves hearty American fare to Giants, Jets, and NFL fans on Sundays. The kitchen turns out solid burgers and loaded nachos that fuel fans through long afternoon slates of football. Multiple levels of seating and a lively crowd make it a great spot to watch out-of-market games.

Emmett's on Grove

Emmett's on Grove Street in the West Village serves Chicago-style deep-dish pizza to a devoted crowd of Midwest sports expats and curious New Yorkers who fill the cozy space on Bears, Cubs, and Blackhawks watch nights. The bar's screens reliably show Chicago-market sports feeds, making it the most authentically Chicago sports bar experience available in Manhattan. Ordering the deep dish requires a 45-minute wait and is worth every second — the kind of fan sports bar that builds real community rather than just serving drinks.

Keens Steakhouse

Operating since 1885 near MSG, Keens is one of NYC's oldest steakhouses, famous for its legendary mutton chop and a collection of over 90,000 churchwarden clay pipes on the ceiling. A top pre-game destination for Knicks, Rangers, and concert-goers heading to Madison Square Garden.

Lucali

Cash-only BYOB pizzeria where Jay-Z and Beyoncé wait in line like everyone else for New York's best pie. David Beckham, Kim Kardashian.

Mike's Deli (Arthur Avenue)

Legendary Italian deli on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx — New York's real Little Italy. Mike's has been serving enormous hero sandwiches, fresh mozzarella, and imported Italian goods since the 1950s. Ice Spice stopped by before her Yankees first pitch. A Bronx institution and a must-visit for authentic Italian-American food.

Peter Luger Steak House

Brooklyn's legendary cash-only steakhouse since 1887, Peter Luger has held a Michelin star and is consistently ranked among the best steakhouses in America. Located in Williamsburg near Barclays Center, it's a favorite of athletes, celebrities, and steak purists visiting for Nets and Islanders games.

Smorgasburg (Williamsburg)

America's largest open-air food market with 100+ vendors in Williamsburg serving everything from ramen burgers to Thai rolled ice cream — Brooklyn's tastiest weekend tradition.

The Polo Bar

Ralph Lauren's clubby, wood-paneled restaurant where fashion royalty meets old-money glamour. Kim Kardashian, David Beckham, Jennifer Lopez.

The Smile NYC

Tucked down a NoHo side street, The Smile is one of Manhattan's most reliably celebrity-frequented all-day cafés. The rustic Mediterranean menu, pressed brick walls, and easy vibe make it a favorite for industry lunches and pre-show fuel for guests in town for MSG events or Broadway runs. Drake, among others, has been spotted here during Toronto-New York visits.

Best Bars in New York

Foley's NY Pub & Restaurant

A Midtown institution near the Empire State Building, Foley's is a baseball-themed pub packed with autographed memorabilia, game-worn jerseys, and sports history on every wall. Known as NYC's ultimate baseball bar, it hosts watch parties and draws fans heading to both Yankee Stadium and Citi Field.

McSorley's Old Ale House

Open since 1854, McSorley's Old Ale House in the East Village is New York's oldest saloon and a mandatory pilgrimage for sports fans who want to drink where Abraham Lincoln, Babe Ruth, and John McEnroe have raised a glass. The bar serves only two types of beer — light and dark — and the walls are covered in memorabilia spanning 170 years of New York sports history, including boxing photos, Knicks programs, and Rangers pennants. It is the kind of place where the fan culture feels genuinely earned rather than manufactured.

Nevada Smith's

Nevada Smith's is New York City's most famous soccer bar, packing in passionate supporters for every major match day including World Cup and Champions League fixtures. The bar opens at ungodly early hours to catch European kickoffs, giving it an almost cult-like devotion among the city's soccer community. Scarves and jerseys of clubs from around the world line the walls.

Stan's Sports Bar

The quintessential Yankee Stadium pre-game bar, Stan's has been fueling Bronx Bombers fans for decades just steps from the ballpark on River Avenue. Cheap beers, hot dogs, and electric energy on game days make it a rite of passage for any baseball fan visiting New York.

Standings Bar

Standings Bar in the East Village is a beloved sports bar that caters to fans of every team with an encyclopedic selection of beers and wall-to-wall screens. It has long been a destination for fans of out-of-market teams to catch their hometown squad. The knowledgeable staff and lively crowd make it a genuine fan community hub.

The Stonewall Inn

A National Historic Landmark in Greenwich Village, the Stonewall Inn is the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement. Now a thriving bar with cocktails and live entertainment, it draws visitors from around the world and is a must-stop for fans exploring NYC beyond the stadiums.

Fan Attractions in New York

Things to Do

Flushing Meadows Fan Walk

The walk from the 7 Train's Mets-Willets Point station through Flushing Meadows–Corona Park to Citi Field passes the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center and the site of two World's Fairs, giving fans a compressed tour of New York's sporting and cultural ambition in about fifteen minutes. On days when the Mets and the US Open overlap in late August the park fills simultaneously with baseball and tennis fans, creating a uniquely New York collision of sporting worlds. The Unisphere, towering over the park entrance, has appeared in countless sports films and serves as the instinctive meeting point for Mets and tennis fan groups.

Madison Square Garden

Billed as the World's Most Famous Arena, Madison Square Garden is the beating heart of New York sports fandom, where the Knicks and Rangers create some of the most electric atmospheres in their respective leagues. Catching a game at The Garden remains a bucket-list experience for fans worldwide, combining world-class sports with the energy of midtown Manhattan.

Madison Square Garden All Access Tour

Experience the World's Most Famous Arena with the MSG All Access Tour. Walk the backstage corridors, see the Knicks and Rangers locker rooms, step onto the arena floor, and learn about the legends who have graced the Garden from Willis Reed to Mark Messier. Tours run daily year-round.

Madison Square Garden Arena Tour

The World's Most Famous Arena has hosted everything from Muhammad Ali to Taylor Swift. MSG's guided arena tour takes fans through the corridors of history — visiting locker rooms, the Chase Bridge, and the famous blue tunnel. With Spike Lee's Knicks courtside seats the most famous in the NBA, the MSG tour is a bucket-list experience for any sports fan visiting New York.

TCS New York City Marathon Fan Village

The TCS New York City Marathon's finish line in Central Park near Tavern on the Green is one of the world's great sporting spectacles for fans and runners alike, drawing over a million spectators who line the course from Staten Island through all five boroughs to cheer 50,000 runners every first Sunday of November. Staking out a spot at the finish line hours early and watching elite runners cross followed by thousands of emotional first-time marathoners is a profoundly moving sports fan experience that costs nothing. The surrounding Central Park fan village, with its food vendors and live music, turns the entire day into an outdoor sports festival unlike anything else in New York.

Things to Do

The High Line

Walk 1.45 miles of elevated park built on a historic freight rail line through Chelsea and the Meatpacking District — NYC's most innovative public space with art and skyline views.

Yankee Stadium

The House That Ruth Built's modern successor in the Bronx is a cathedral to baseball history, where 27 World Series championship banners hang above Monument Park and the pinstripe faithful fill every seat with decades of expectation. Stadium tours reveal the Monument Park tributes to legends like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Derek Jeter up close.

Yankee Stadium Tour

Go behind the scenes at the Cathedral of Baseball with a classic or premium guided tour. Visit Monument Park honoring legends like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Derek Jeter, explore the dugout, press box, and the New York Yankees Museum featuring 27 World Series trophies worth of history.
