10 best places to watch the Super Bowl in NJ
Looking for a great Jersey spot for the Big Game festivities on Sunday? We have you covered.
Since no local teams made it this year (again!), there's a good deal of football fans just looking to relax, load up on some great food, have a drink and maybe play some games while taking in the festivities in Houston, Texas. I've put together a top 10 list (in no particular order).
Some picks have more than one location, so consider them "two-point conversions." Or something else football-ish.
1. Jack's Goal Line Stand
Jack's has it all: 50 TVs and more than 60 beers on tap. Plus there's a game day menu of mouth-watering specials like the BarnYard Sandwich (three kinds of meat!), the 'Pool of Cheese' and a menu of sliders
