“The longest running Super Bowl party in Teaneck – absolutely,” claims Vinny O’sowner Vinny Ottina. “And probably in Bergen County.”

Ottina can’t vouch for the accuracy of the last statement, but he can for his Teaneck one. Vinny O’s has nine big screen televisions to enjoy the game, and a hot and cold buffet to feast on while the Packers and Steelers bang heads. Entry is free before 4pm, and there is a $5.00 cover charge after. Throughout the afternoon and evening, there will be door raffles, football pools, and two 6 foot heroes will be served to attendees at halftime.
Partying at home? Individual trays and heroes are available as well, in addition to the traditional Vinny O’s Sports Packages, available for $10.95 or $15.95 per person.

“Food like chicken and other finger food,” says G&G Liquors & Bar manager Brad Kim when asked about the festivities at his location. “We’ve been doing it for a long time for every Super Bowl.”
And the fact that either the Giants and Jets aren’t playing less celebration – maybe. “When a local team plays there’s more celebration. But we have more Steelers fans than Packers fans, and they’ll come down and celebrate. Lots of people will enjoy coming to G&G and enjoy the Super Bowl with other people.”
∙ Cottage Bar & Restaurant
No stranger to celebrations and special occasion events -- especially on pro football's biggest day of the year -- Cottage Bar & Restaurant will certainly be serving the "Best Pint of Guinness in Bergen County", but will also be hosting a free half time buffet featuring a variety of wings, pastas, and a traditional favorite, Shepherd’s Pie.

On a smaller scale, recommended is Mabat Steak House where, according to owner Yoram Levi, “We’ll have a variety of chicken wings in addition to our regular menu.”
