My favorite day of the year is finally here: Super Bowl Sunday. From August to February, we watch as our favorite teams slog through the pre-season, regular season, and the playoffs (if you’re lucky). We don the colors, numbers, and names of our teams and favorite players, hoping that they will somehow be one of the two left standing in the end. In a league of 32 teams, making it to the Super Bowl is no easy feat. This year is extra special for me, as I am an Eagles fan, and darn proud of it! There is a part of me that wishes I could be relaxing with my friends on the couch in front of the big screen while drinking a beer, gnawing on a chicken wing, and dunking some mozz sticks in ranch or marinara. But an even bigger part of me is pumped that Philly is headed for redemption. I’ll be jumping up and down, screaming at the refs through my TV as if they can hear me, chugging beer to calm the nerves, and gnawing on my fingers, thinking they’re wings. Ahh, isn’t football the best? 

This year, we’ve compiled an extensive list of bars, caterers, and restaurants that are excited to serve you all your game day favorites. We’ve named the best that CT has to offer, whether you are craving nachos, wings, chili, potato skins, pizza, sweets (dessert pizza!?), or you’re just looking for a place to get a lil drunk with your friends and watch 22 sweaty guys run back and forth while wearing a shirt that says “insert football team here,” or “Taylor’s boyfriend’s team.” AND we’ve organized this crazy awesome list by county…you’re welcome. Stay safe and enjoy the game! Go Birds!

Super Bowl Date: Sunday, February 9th, kickoff @ 6:30 p.m. ET.
