Football season in New York City is unlike football season anywhere else. In other parts of the country, you see floods of one or two colors and the same three or four jerseys from the grocery store to the gas station, from the bar to the DUI checkpoint.

There’s nothing like it, and NYC has dozens of havens that cater to the sea of fans that just want to watch their team.
