New York Sports Bars Adapt for NFL Fans

The latest episode of Seattle Eats highlights Guamanian cuisine at the newly celebrated familyfriend restaurant, which has garnered attention from The New York Times. Owner Elmer Dulla emphasizes the importance of traditional dishes like coconut-corn soup and seafood kelaguen tostada over viral menu items. Meanwhile, in New York City, the popularity of sports bars has surged, requiring patrons to reserve tables weeks in advance to catch NFL games, particularly amid rising interest from young women spurred by cultural icons like Taylor Swift. Venues like Blue Haven South and Rocco’s Sports & Recreation are now implementing strict reservation policies and minimum spends to accommodate demand. In contrast, Riddick’s Sports Pub in Redding focuses on elevated pub food, offering unique dishes that challenge the typical bar food stereotype. As the bar scene evolves, establishments are blending dining and drinking experiences, appealing to a more discerning clientele.
