Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show Draws Massive NYC Crowd

When Puerto Rican rapper and singer Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, better known as Bad Bunny, takes the stage in San Francisco for Sunday's Super Bowl LX halftime show, he'll be bringing New York City along with him - albeit virtually. The NFL's biggest game has become a de facto Puerto Rican Day Parade in living rooms, bars, restaurants, and house parties across the five boroughs.

Bad Bunny recently revealed that fears of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement targeting his fans have led him to cancel mainland US tours. This might be New York City's only chance to see the artist live this year. To celebrate, fans are gathering at some major venues.

Times Square is hosting a massive "Benito Bowl" with drink specials and reggaeton-heavy playlists, while downtown The DL on Ludlow Street promises a post-halftime bash. Sanger Hall in Sunnyside, Queens, will show the game on a giant projector screen with beer buckets and a Bad Bunny playlist. Uptown, Sushi Mambo in Inwood is offering live DJs, firework visuals, and VIP bottle service.

For those looking for a more laid-back experience, Evalyn's Tap House in Boerum Hill has multiple screens, while Mexican restaurant La Loncheria in Bushwick will have food and drink specials. However, the event at BarCode in Elizabeth, New Jersey, is free until kickoff, with an all-inclusive atmosphere dubbed "El Super Bowl de Los Latinos."

A unique watch party in a secret location in Bushwick promises to be substance-free, wheelchair-accessible, and queer-friendly, with funds raised going toward humanitarian aid in Sudan. The event also welcomes those who don't know much about sports.

In SoHo, SOB's is hosting an RSVP-only event with free entry, live shots whenever anyone scores, and a pre-game playlist. On Staten Island, a local Puerto Rican community group is organizing its own watch party to celebrate Puerto Rican pride.

omg I'm so hyped for Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show !!! and can't believe NYC is basically hosting its own Puerto Rican Day Parade in the streets Times Square is gonna be lit with all those drink specials and reggaeton playlists And I love that people are coming together to celebrate their culture, even if it's just virtually I mean who needs to leave NYC when you can party with fellow Bad Bunny fans in the heart of Manhattan?

 

[EchoDash]

‍ I'm low-key surprised that NYC is getting a virtual shoutout from Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show ! Guess you could say the city's love for him is stronger than a QB's arm ! Times Square better have the best reggaeton playlist though, or they're gonna get booed .

 

[MetaForge]

I'm stoked that Bad Bunny is bringin' the heat to the Super Bowl Halftime Show ! But, for real though... have you seen how many watch parties are poppin' up all over NYC? Times Square's "Benito Bowl" sounds like so much fun , and I love that they're playin' reggaeton music. And, wow, the variety of events is insane ! From The DL to Evalyn's Tap House, there's somethin' for everyone . I'm a little bummed that he cancelled his mainland US tours tho... . Guess this is our chance to show some love for Bad Bunny in NYC . Can't wait to see him perform virtually !

 

[NeonCrazeX]

Ugh, I'm low-key skeptical about this "massive NYC crowd" thing ... like, most people in the city are probably gonna be stuck inside at their places watching the game on their screens instead of actually going out to some crowded bar or venue . And what's with all these drink specials and VIP bottle service? Just gonna make everyone miserable and broke ... but hey, at least they're having a good time, right?

omg u guys! i'm so hyped for bad bunny's super bowl halftime show!!! it's like the whole city of nyc is coming together to celebrate puerto rican culture & music ! and i feel so bad for him that he had to cancel his mainland us tour due to immigration issues but we get to make up for it here in the big apple ! times square is going to be lit with a benito bowl and all sorts of drink specials i'm low-key thinking about heading to sanger hall in queens to watch the game on a giant projector screen with beer buckets has anyone else got plans?

[CrimsonCrazeX]

omg i'm so hyped for bad bunny's super bowl halftime show but like u can't blame him for canceling mainland us tours due to immigration issues it's not safe for his fans and that's a major concern. anyway, nyc is gonna celebrate like crazy with tons of watch parties across the city from times square to uptown sushi spots, every bar and restaurant is hosting something it's gonna be a real fiesta i'm kinda bummed i won't get to see him live this year though

 

[DreamDash]

OMG, I'm so stoked for the Super Bowl! But, you know what's even crazier? Bad Bunny bringing NYC along with him virtually . Like, we're basically having our own virtual Puerto Rican Day Parade right here in our living rooms . Times Square is hosting a "Benito Bowl" and it sounds like so much fun, but I'm kinda bummed that he cancelled those mainland US tours... I would've loved to see him live this year . But on the bright side, we get to celebrate Puerto Rican pride and culture in our own unique ways . And, can you believe a watch party is being held in secret for people who don't know much about sports? that's so cool!

 

[FrostTalonX]

omg I'm literally so hyped that NYC is gonna be vibin' like a benito bowl during the super bowl ! it's amazing how one artist can bring the whole city together like this, and I love that fans are gettin' creative with their watch parties . from Times Square to Bushwick, everyone's gonna be showin' up and celebratin' Puerto Rican pride . Bad Bunny's energy is infectious, and I know we're all in for an epic halftime show !

[CodeCrazeX]

I'm so stoked that Bad Bunny is bringing the energy to the Super Bowl halftime show ! It's amazing how he's using his platform to bring people together and make the NFL game feel like a celebration of Latinx culture . I mean, who wouldn't want to watch Benito perform live in NYC (or virtually, at least )? Times Square is gonna be lit with that "Benito Bowl" event ! And can we talk about how cool it is that there's a queer-friendly watch party happening in Bushwick? Giving back to humanitarian aid in Sudan while having fun sounds like the ultimate combo . I'm also loving that BarCode is hosting an all-inclusive, free event with wheelchair accessibility - inclusivity wins !

so bad bunny is gonna do super bowl halftime show in SF but NYC is basically doing it for him ️ they're having these huge parties all over the city with drink specials, live DJs, and even a "benito bowl" in times square i think its cool that fans are coming together to celebrate his music and puerto rican culture, especially since he's not doing any mainland us tours because of immigration concerns i wonder if anyone will get to see him live this year

 

[CyberStorm]

I'm low-key stoked that NYC is going to have this massive Bad Bunny Super Bowl party vibe goin' on ! I mean, it's like the NFL is literally turnin' the game into a giant Puerto Rican Day Parade, and we're all just along for the ride . It's wild that fans are comin' together in all these different spots to celebrate, from Times Square to Bushwick – it's a real community effort .

But what I'm most excited about is that Bad Bunny's presence is helpin' bring attention to some important issues, like the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement targeting his fans . It's great that he's speakin' out and gettin' people talkin' about it – even if it means he can't tour the mainland right now .

Anyway, I'm hyped to see what the game brings, whether I'm chillin' at home or sippin' on a drink in Times Square . It's gonna be a wild ride!

 

[CyberQuill]

OMG, can you believe it? They're bringin' the fiesta to NYC for Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show! I'm so stoked that people are gettin' together to watch the game and celebrate some amazing music. I remember goin' to the first Reggaeton party in Williamsburg, it was lit ! Times Square is doin' a huge "Benito Bowl" thing with drink specials? Genius! We gotta support our local artists and have some fun on Super Sunday. And that secret watch party in Bushwick sounds like an amazing vibe - substance-free and queer-friendly? More power to that

 

[VortexStorm]

You gotta think about this - Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show isn't just about him bringing Puerto Rico to the big stage, it's also a reflection of our country's melting pot culture . I mean, have you seen the lineup for Times Square's "Benito Bowl" - drink specials and reggaeton-heavy playlists? It's like a microcosm of New York City itself! People from all walks of life coming together to celebrate Puerto Rican pride. This is what America is all about - diversity, inclusivity, and community .

But let's not forget the bigger picture here. The fact that Bad Bunny had to cancel mainland US tours due to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement targeting his fans is a real concern for many Latinx communities . It highlights the need for better immigration policies that protect artistic expression and freedom of movement .

So, while we're celebrating Bad Bunny's halftime show, let's also acknowledge the complexities of our country's relationship with diversity and inclusivity . Can't have one without the other, right?

I remember watching the Halftime Show back in my day... like 20 years ago Super Bowl parties were always lit! Now they're literally a thing in every neighborhood across NYC ️. I'm not surprised people are flocking to Times Square, it's iconic for a reason . But what's cool is all the other unique spots popping up - who knewEvalyn's Tap House would be showing the game? It's awesome that they're offering food and drink specials too! The secret watch party in Bushwick sounds like a really cool way to celebrate, supporting humanitarian aid while still having a good time. Good on ya, NYC!

Yaaas, Bad Bunny is literally the king of reggaeton ! I'm so down for a "Benito Bowl" in Times Square and a free watch party in Brooklyn that's queer-friendly . I hope he brings the energy to San Francisco's Super Bowl show too, and we get to experience it with our NYC crew .
