The Super Bowl is this Sunday, who cares? Oh right, millions of people. Okay then, we aim to please, so for those in need of a place to enjoy the big corporate diversion in a public setting with food and booze, here are some appealing options. (And if watching men in tights wrestle each other to the ground isn't your thing, it's always a great day to go skiing or snowboarding. There's also the Astor Center's "taste-experience" class exploring what a Japanese scientist named Kikunae Ikeda called the fifth taste, or "umami.")
Wildwood Barbeque (225 Park Avenue South) will be broadcasting the game on a Jumbo HD Projector Screen as well as six additional HD TVs. But the real draw is that you can kill time between commercials by hanging with Pitmaster “Big” Lou Elrose, who'll be smoking a whole entire pig, which he’ll carve up and serve to you with your choice of two small sides for $19.95. Wildwood is also ready to cater your Superbowl party with a menu that includes Pulled Pork Sliders, Chipotle BBQ Chicken Wings and Wildwood Nachos with Jailhouse Chili. Here's the menu [pdf].
Have your hipster Super Bowl party at Williamsburg's eclectic restaurant/performance space Monkeytown, where they're projecting the game on their massive screens starting at 5 p.m. There's no cover, but there is a $25 minimum on food or drink. Management also requests that you execute your high-fives with the proper degree of irony.
(Le) Poisson Rouge (158 Bleecker Street) is throwing a free party starting at 4 p.m. with "Drink Specials! Wings 'n' Things! Plenty of Comfortable Seating!" Between every quarter the bar will pour free shots, buckets of 12 Rolling Rock cans cost $25, and Bud and Bud Lite pitchers will be poured for $10 throughout the game. In the main room, a 12-foot projection screen with "Crystal-Clear Meyer Surround Sound" (whatever that means) will broadcast the game, with additional screens over the second bar room. Anyone still standing at the end of all this is welcome to stay for a late night dance party.
Also downtown, chef Richard Calton at The Cub Room (132 Sullivan Street, corner of Prince) will be dispensing Kobe Beef Mini Hot dogs for $20 a tray, Kobe Sliders at $20, Hot Wings at $15 a bucket, and $1 Coors. Flat screens will broadcast the game throughout the restaurant.
Blue Smoke, the pit barbecue joint upstairs from the Jazz Standard on 27th Street (between Park and Lexington) is doing an all-you-can eat barbecue party with an open bar that includes beer, wine and specialty cocktails. And we're told some sort of professional sporting contest will be shown on large flat screen TVs. Doors open at 5pm, tickets cost $135.
Maxie’s Bar & Grill, celebrating its first anniversary this month, boasts 10 flat screen TVs "covering all corners." For $35 a person, the casual eatery is offering All You Can Eat wings, sliders, and pitchers of beer. (233 Park Avenue South at 19th Street.)
$75 at The Village Pourhouse (64 Third Avenue) gets you an open bar and unidentified appetizer platters for the duration of the game, which will be broadcast on 21 HDTV's & projection screens. Or head to Harlem to The Village Pourhouse Upperwest (982 Amsterdam Avenue at 109th Street), where $30 gets you access to a Bud Light Open Bar from kick off until the end of the game. AND AND AND: A half time Flip Cup Tournament, brah!
For a more refined Super Bowl XLIII experience, Hudson Terrace (621 West 46th Street) is promising "the most exclusive party in New York City," featuring a $99 Open Bar with access to top shelf booze, a buffet and passed appetizers. Or for $20, a less-exclusive cash bar ticket gets you in, plus two drink tickets.
And finally, 92YTribeca's Super Bowl party kicks off at 5:30, with an open bar from 6 p.m to 7 p.m. They'll broadcast the game in the main stage bar with snacks, food and drink specials, with unspecified prizes for trivia and score predictions. Tickets cost $15 in advance, $20 at the door.

There's nothing funny about date rape and I'm sure that the good people of Le Poisson rouge are not enjoying that thoughtless remark.
That is a disgusting remark, date rape is not funny at all. shame on you.
Silvio Berlusconi has found himself in hot water again after saying that deploying more troops on Italian streets following a series of rape cases would not guarantee the safety of the country's women because "we would need as many soldiers as there are beautiful girls in Italy – which we will never manage"
did you need to post that disgusting picture?
That man is a dream- boat.
the photo encompasses the majority of the people in the US of A, it's perfect.
That is nothing to be proud of. Go vegetarian/vegan and you rid yourself of that ugly sight. blah. that picture makes me sick.
I'm a proud American, just not proud to be known as a nation of fat fucks. The photo is perfect for what it's for, football.
America is not a nation of fat fucks, you do our country proud.
" Anyone still standing at the end of all this is welcome to stay for a late night dance party, attempted date rape to follow"
You need to remove that comment, a close girl of mine was date rape and she been traumatized. Your comment is very offensive.
I bet I could cluster the contents of an entire mag within the target painted on his chest from 500ft.
What I'm NOT sure about tho is whether or not I could AFFORD to have that big fat f*** stuffed and mounted on my wall afterwards.
I can't begin to understand how that photo could be characterized as "disgusting." It's one man showing true pride in the world's best football team. Simply & utterly beautiful, in my opinion.
