Bucket List Weekend - need NYC Reco's

[BuffaloBillies]

Heading to NYC for a magical weekend with my buddy.

 - Flying in Thursday 9/25

 - Friday Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black 9/26

 - Saturday 1:05 Baltimore @ Yankees (followed by college football at sports bar) 9/27

 - NFL Sunday in NYC (Saints @ Bills 1PM) 9/28

 - Return Monday 9 /29

 

So, I need some advice/reco's about where to stay and where to watch the Bills game.

We haven't booked a hotel yet. See our schedule above where would be a good area? Specific hotel reco's?

What's the best NYC Bills Backer bar to go?

Any suggestions for after the Yankees game for a good place near there to watch college football games?

 

Thanks!

Go Bills! And USA USA USA (Ryder Cup - and look for me on TV, I'll be wearing my red, white blue Josh Allen jersey along the course)

It’s NY F’ing City. We don’t care.

My buddies own several wing joints in NYC. Their story is amazing. But to get to the point: best (and in my opinion only truly authentic wings in NYC). 
 

Dan and John’s wings. At least three locations. Just Google maps when you get there to find the closest. 
 

They also play all bills games with a bunch of bills fans.

Skip the Yankees game and head to Orchard Park

Was a consideration actually - but doing an NYC weekend. I'm a huge Yankee fan and my bud loves Orioles (for some reason), so that worked out nicely.

You could stay in Hoboken NJ and have a view of Manhattan. It would probably be much cheaper than staying in NYC and it is a great place to go out. And an easy ferry/train/bus ride to NYC. 
 

The best place to watch the Bills game is with the North Jersey Bills Backers at the Stone & Rail in Glen Rock. But that would probably be too far away if you stay in the city.

I lived in Hoboken for four years. Truly the best place I’ve ever lived and I’ve lived in 8 different cities across the country. Just an awesome place. I will say though, I paid $4700/mo for a 750sq ft loft so the secret is out and the prices are not substantially lower than NYC anymore.

I stay in Jersey City when I travel to that area.  I stay near the train station that will take you right into the World Trade Center Station.  Good hotels and restaurants

 

Sounds like a good trip.

It's too bad you weren't flying in 2 weeks earlier. The Bills are at MetLife on Sept 14.

There’s a JetBlue Flight that leaves JFK at 8:22 and gets to Buffalo at 10 PM. It’s currently $84!! You can do Ryder Cup, Yanks and be to Buffalo in time to get a good night sleep before hitting the tailgate. Ultimate dudes weekend

How can you disagree with an expert?!

How much did the Ryder Cup tickets cost you?

P.S. excellent Ryder Cup clothing choice!

Mcfadden's on 2nd avenue in New York City is where you go to watch the Bills. If it's anything like it used to be, you'd better get there early. The place absolutely rocks.

NYC Bills Backers moved on from McFadden's a few years ago.  Penn 6 is the current Bills Backers bar in Manhattan I believe.

Oh boy, that's a very tempting option. I already figured I'd be coming home in a body bag on Monday... that would seal the deal for sure.

$750 (each) for 1 day. Yeah, had to call it a bucket list thing to get wife approval.

Make a reservation too - otherwise you'll be standing (not that there's anything wrong with that - but the place gets packed!).

Why not do both. A plane ride from NYC to WNY is about an hour.

In all honesty, grabbing a slice at some small shop in the city, folding it in half and walking around is awesome.
