Jay-Z's Favorite 40/40 Club After New York Yankees game at Yankee Stadium

Jay-Z: The Ultimate Superfan Guide
The Flatiron sports lounge Jay-Z built around his Yankees fandom — named for the baseball feat itself.
Jay-Z opened the 40/40 Club on West 25th Street in Flatiron in June 2003 with partner Juan Perez, naming it after baseball's rare 40-homer/40-stolen-base season. It became the upscale-sports-bar template that lasted two decades. Jay-Z's connection to the Yankees runs deeper than ownership stake — he is a self-identified Yankees lifer, has performed at the new Yankee Stadium, and put 40/40 outposts at Barclays Center and Atlantic City. The original Flatiron club closed in 2023, but Jay-Z confirmed a 40/40 relaunch at a new NYC location, beginning with a Sports Festival pop-up. For Yankees-fan travelers, the cleanest Jay-Z double-header is an afternoon at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx followed by drinks at whichever 40/40 location is currently active in Manhattan.
