In 2014, when Super Bowl XLVIII comes to MetLife Stadium, New Yorkers will witness the country's most massive sporting spectacle in their own backyard. Until then, though—including on February 3—we'll have to watch the game on big-screen TVs like everyone else (on the bright side, this means we get to see the commercials, too). Below, we've included a list of just some of the public places where fans can drink, maybe grab a bite to eat and gaze at said LCDs and plasma displays while cheering on their favorite team.

One final note: any coach worth his Gatorade will tell you that a successful Super Sunday is all about preparation, and that goes for fans as much as competitors. Wherever you'd like to watch the game, call ahead and ask whether your chosen venue requires reservations, minimum food or drink purchases, or anything else that might affect your viewing plans.
