Should you find yourself north of the Harlem River in need of sports and fatty foods, your best bet is the Bronx Alehouse. They take their sports seriously here, and you can bet they’ll be playing any sort of big game (especially if there’s a New York team involved). They even have a great beer selection and some outdoor seating. And if you sit out there, you might see a raccoon walking down the street. We did, and it wasn’t the worst thing to watch.

Still hanging out in the Bronx? Consider the commute to Bronx Alehouse. Sure, it’s out of the way for anyone who doesn’t normally hang out on streets with three digits - but if you’re already in the area, it’s worth stopping by. The vibes inside are neighborhood friendly, and there a bunch of TV’s for watching sports. They also have some tables outside, and their house burger comes with pulled pork and an onion ring (on the burger).
