Wherever you end up, the game promises to be a good one. And although you may not be in the stands, you’ll get to see the replays, hear the commentary, enjoy some great food and still be able cheer with the crowds. Go Green!
I have to tell you that I could live on Midtown Brewing Company’s appetizers alone. Sure they’ve got great sandwiches, fish and chips, tacos and burgers, but the apps? Wowza. There’s Brussel sprouts, fried pickles, spinach artichoke dip, soft pretzels and cinnamon donuts to start with. Add on a great craft beer selection and ciders and let’s all settle in to watch the game.
