With the World Cup right around the corner, it's time to start making plans to watch the world's most widely viewed sporting event.
There are plenty of spots in New York City where you can cheer on your favorite soccer players.
Some of the bars are allied with certain teams, others just want to celebrate soccer in general. At these bars, you'll experience everything from World Cup cocktails to samba dancers.
Ribalta
This Italian restaurant is a World Cup hub for fans of not just Italy, but every team. Ribalta will be offering a special menu honoring several teams, featuring items such as Yuca Frita pizza for Brazil and Pizza Guacamole for Mexico.
Enjoy a slice while watching all of the games on a 16-foot HD projection screen, and don't miss the opening game party on Thursday, which will feature a Brazilian DJ and carnival dancers.
Hecho en Dumbo
Mixing tasty Mexican food with the World Cup is the recipe for a good night. Munch on some half-price nachos at Hecho en Dumbo during matches, and don't forget to enter in the bracket; if you win, the restaurant and bar will throw a party for you and 40 friends.
Haven Rooftop at the Sanctuary Hotel
This cocktail lounge is literally above others—it's located at the top of the Sanctuary Hotel. Watch the Cup games while enjoying beautiful views of the Manhattan skyline. Haven Rooftop will also be serving $10 Caipirinhas in honor of Brazil.
