Game Day

Game Day Fun
Well, this Sunday some of you may be cheering “Go Pack Go” or singing “Black and Yellow” or you may still be getting over the Jets loss from two weeks ago- Either way this Sunday is the SUPERBOWL and is expected to be a pretty good game.
Here are some helpful suggestions for you to get ready for the big game:
Staying at home, hosting a party, or going to a house party?
How to Prepare…
·  Take Out vs Do it yourself
·         Having guests over but don’t want to deal with all the prep work- order out from one of these local spots.
            Outpost BBQ – Kerhonkson- located on the corner of 44/55 and 209-
Their phone number is really easy to remember too: 845-626-4455
This little log house on wheels has great BBQ .  They make pulled pork sandwiches, and beef brisket as well as platters.  Call early so they can prepare all the food you want in a timely fashion of course- make sure you have extra napkins!
Hours off Operation for Game Day: 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Sunday
Buffalo Wild Wings- Great for take out and dine in.
Their full menu is accessible online.  You can also find the nearest location near you.  The one I was thinking of is in Kingston- right inside the mall.
Taco Shack or Mexicali Blue- New Paltz
Right from their website: "RESERVE YOUR SUPERBOWL PARTY PLATTERS NOW!TRY OUR NEW HABANERO BUFFALO CHICKEN DIPPERS OR TRY OUR SHRIMP DIPPERS! "   yummy!
Taco Shack - Both are great places it just depends on what you are looking for.  Taco Shack has more of a
255 Main Street, New Paltz, NY 12561 (845) 255-2366 ‎ 
- Have the supermarket cater your party or your local deli.
 All the supermarkets from Shoprite, Hannford, Adam's Fairacre Farm, to your local mom and pop shops are all offering great deals on platters, hot food, and small items like soda and chips (stock up for the next snow storm) - Don't want to drive to the store to see their ads and didn't pick up the Sunday paper with all the ads- go online and google your local store-  Most supermarkets flyers are accessible online now.
      • My Hero - New Paltz- Hot or cold hero's, subs- small -6 foot size portions.  This is an easy thing as well as a crowd pleaser!
        • 845-255-1010 154 Main St New Paltz, NY 12561

      • Pizza- this just seems like a no brainer!  there are so many different pizza places in Ulster that I don't think I need to recommend any one in particular.  You know where you like to go- so just do it!
Restaurants that may not be able to “Cater” your whole party but has some great smaller options- or if it is just for you and a few other people.
Not into junk food- there are tons of “health conscious” food establishments around that you can order food from- to eat at home for the game. 
·         Rock Da Pasta- New Paltz, NY (Gluten Allergies)- (they are also in the entertainment book!) - http://www.rockdapasta.com/

·         Nature Nosh Health Food Store- Ellenville on Canal Street.
   They have a small counter where they make great soups, salads, and sandwiches.  You can always give them a call for more details too: 845) 647-5442

·         Northern Spy- High Falls
What else is there to do?
  • Don't worry about cleaning your house either- It's the Superbowl, someone is going to spill the nachos on the floor- let's be honest here.
  • Watch for my next blog post too for a quick list of food you can make if you have more time on your hands.
