New Yorkers Get Ready for Benito Bowl: Where to Catch Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show This Weekend
As the big game approaches, New York City is bracing itself for a cultural phenomenon unlike any other. For the first time in years, Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny will take to the stage at Super Bowl LX in San Francisco, but his fans won't be limited to just watching on TV - they'll be able to experience it live, in person.
A "Benito Bowl" is being dubbed by party flyers across the city, with venues from Times Square to Staten Island hosting watch parties and events to celebrate the artist's performance. Bad Bunny recently revealed that he's been concerned about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement targeting his fans on tour, making this Super Bowl show a rare opportunity for New Yorkers to see him live.
So where can you catch the Benito Bowl in action? Start at Dramma in Times Square, where there will be drink specials, reggaeton-heavy soundtrack, and pre-game festivities galore. For a more low-key experience, head downtown to The DL on Ludlow Street, where fans can gather for post-halftime bash.
Queens residents have several options too, including Sanger Hall's massive 100-inch projector screen show, beer buckets, and pre-game playlist honoring Bad Bunny. Uptown, Sushi Mambo in Inwood promises live DJs, firework visuals, VIP bottle service, and a queer-friendly atmosphere.
Across the East River, Brooklyn fans have several laid-back options to catch the game. Evalyn's Tap House offers straightforward viewing with full bar and multiple screens, while La Loncheria Mexican restaurant in Bushwick provides food and drink specials and a Bad Bunny-devoted setting.
Last but not least, for those who want an experience with a difference, consider Bushwick-based venue hosting a COVID-safe watch party that raises funds for humanitarian aid in Sudan, the Black Zine Fair, and COVID mask distribution. The event is wheelchair-accessible, substance-free, and open to anyone curious about sports or unsure about game play.
This weekend, New York City will be more than just a football stadium - it'll be one giant Puerto Rican Day Parade, all thanks to Benito Bunny's electrifying halftime show.

. It's all about vibes, you know? And with Benito Bunny bringing that Latin heat to the stage, I'm sure everyone is gonna have an epic time! I wish I could make it to one of those watch parties myself...
I mean, who wouldn't want to see him perform live in the city that never sleeps? 
I love how new yorkers are coming together to celebrate this moment, from watch parties in times square to more chill vibes in brooklyn. and can we talk about the benito bowl events? some of them have such unique touches like firework visuals and queer-friendly spaces 
i'm a little bummed that bad bunny mentioned ICE targeting his fans on tour tho 
but it's awesome that he's bringing attention to this issue. anyway, who's ready for the benito bowl?! let's get this party started! 
. The watch party at Dramma in Times Square sounds like a total blast 
! I'm also super stoked about the queer-friendly vibe at Sushi Mambo... it's all about inclusivity and good vibes 
. Whoever thought hosting a COVID-safe watch party that gives back to Sudan was a genius move 
! Can't wait to see Bad Bunny perform this weekend 
. I've checked out some of these watch party spots with my kiddos, and we're thinking of heading to Sanger Hall in Queens for the low-key vibes 
. Can't wait to see Benito Bunny's energy live on stage 
. First of all, why did Bad Bunny agree to perform at Super Bowl without knowing the full details? It just doesn't add up. And now that it's out in the open, I think it's more than just a coincidence that he mentions U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement targeting his fans... is this an attempt to distract us from something bigger? 
The Benito Bowl events across the city are all about the party, but what about the real agenda here? Are we being manipulated into celebrating Bad Bunny while someone else is pulling the strings behind the scenes? I'm not buying it just yet 
.
its like everybodys watchin bad bunny live @ super bowl and they got events and parties all over the city from times sq to staten island 
️ i heard he was worried about immigration issues but now ppl just wanna see him slay on stage 
and im all about it 
and who can resist sushi mambo's firework visuals and vip service uptown? 
this is gonna be one for the books, let's get ready to rumba 
But on the other hand, it's Bad Bunny and Super Bowl LX, what's not to be excited about?! 
. I'm good with just watching on TV or streaming it online, no need for all that fuss 
but what's really cool about this is that there are so many watch parties happening across the city that cater to different vibes, from loud and reggaeton-heavy to queer-friendly and laid-back 
And, honestly, the whole Benito Bowl vibe is giving me major "Friday Night Lights" feels 
that's insane! 
. And can we talk about the venues?! Dramma in Times Square, The DL on Ludlow Street... there's a watch party for everyone 
. But honestly, I'm kinda low-key jealous that NYC is getting to experience this live while fans elsewhere might be stuck watching on TV 
. And can we talk about how awesome it is that Bad Bunny's using his platform for good by raising funds for humanitarian aid in Sudan? That's what the Benito Bowl is all about
