A perfect place to spend on Thanksgiving Day, Bubby’s offers a wide variety of comfort food that is surely going to impress your friends and family.

“Serving New Yorkers—and diners from around the world—for three decades is a rare milestone. We are happy to reopen this location with lots of ‘under the hood’ improvements that diners won’t even notice,” said Ron Silver, Chef and Owner, Bubby’s. “Comfort food has always been my style and how I love to cook. With our new interior and modernized kitchen, guests can expect the same classic Bubby’s menu and quality of service in revamped surroundings.”

The Bubby’s story began on Thanksgiving Day 1990 when Chef Silver was baking pies and selling them out of a small kitchen at the corner of Hudson and North Moore St, which ultimately became the flagship Bubby’s Tribeca. This one-day pop up has since expanded its footprint to draw in hundreds of thousands of guests annually at a second High Line location as well as six restaurants in Japan.

In keeping with its Southern inspiration, original artwork by Silver is on display in the restaurant.

As a special toast to the celebration, complimentary prosecco will be available for guests who dine at Bubby’s Tribeca opening weekend.

Our Favorite New York City's Sports Bars

in ,

New York has sports bars for everyone, Giants fans to Cowboys fans and everything in between. While finding the right one can be tricky we list our favorites with souther charm, TV's and for those who want an arcade to in between commercials.

Printers Alley, a bit of Southern charm brought to New York City. With 3 projectors, 2 bars, and 20 TV screens, this is the laid-back place to watch the game.. Enjoy the game with Southern classics like pulled pork, collard greens, and fried chicken. Plus, they have 2 kinds of slushies, 12 cocktails, and a selection of beers.

Stout is located in midtown, a central location in the heart of Manhattan right by Madison Square Garden. Hailed as New York’s largest Irish pub at three stories, their menu includes over 150 bottled beers, 25 drafts and more than 65 Irish whiskies. As there are 36 TVs in the pub, there are 36 ways to enjoy the game.

With Billiards, Ping-Pong, Darts, Vintage Arcades, Foosball, and Hoops, Breaks Bar & Billiards is a playground made for adults. But don’t let the games distract you from the 16 TV screens, 2 projectors, and a 55-foot long bar. With over 18 beers on tap and a classic American menu, you’ll almost never want to leave.

A soccer-centric pub, Woodwork constantly has futball on at practically all hours when the pub is open. Their website has all the matches for the day, so no one can second guess who’s playing and when. If there’s a match that someone wants to watch but is not on the pub’s schedule, people can call ahead to request it. Bonus: during happy hour, drafts and wells are $4 from 4-7pm from Monday to Friday.

Last one ‘standing’ is Standings, a favorite Irish Pub by many who claim it to be the classic sports bar. Despite its small size, the 8 TVs could practically be seen from everywhere. They have happy hour 5-7pm Monday - Friday and free pizza on Friday! Granted, you’d probably be bumping elbows with the next two people on either side of you, but you’ll bask in the glory of the comradery that only sports can bring!
