The 50 Yard Lounge

Sample eats from some of the city's biggest restaurants and chefs at this midtown football-and-food event (cosponsored by Time Out New York), which will feed hungry football fans during the week before the Super Bowl. Over five days, visitors can try dishes from spots like Melt Shop, Artichoke Basille's Pizza, Katz's Delicatessen and the Cannibal, and meet chefs like Marc Forgione, Michael White and Johnny Iuzzini. Football legends, including Joe Theismann and Doug Flutie, will be on hand as well.
