"NYC to Go Big for Super Bowl Halftime Show: Where to Watch Bad Bunny in NYC"
The highly anticipated halftime show by Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny is set to bring the energy of San Francisco's Super Bowl LX to New York City. As fans across the metropolitan area prepare to cheer on their favorite artist, many are organizing watch parties that rival the excitement of a traditional Puerto Rican Day Parade.
The "Benito Bowl" moniker has been coined by party flyers from Times Square to Staten Island, signaling that this year's Super Bowl is more than just a sporting event – it's a celebration of Latin culture. Bad Bunny's latest album, featuring tracks like "NUEVAYol," which pay homage to NYC and its vibrant Puerto Rican and Dominican communities.
However, due to safety concerns related to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement targeting his fans, the artist has cancelled mainland US tour dates – making this an opportunity for New York City residents to witness Bad Bunny live.
Major venues across NYC are hosting viewing parties that promise an unforgettable experience. In Times Square, Dramma is offering drink specials and a reggaeton-heavy soundtrack at its Benito Bowl event. Meanwhile, downtown The DL on Ludlow Street will feature a post-halftime bash with beer buckets.
Sanger Hall in Sunnyside, Queens, has set up a 100-inch projector screen to show the game, accompanied by pre-game music paying tribute to Bad Bunny. Sushi Mambo in Inwood promises live DJs and firework visuals along with VIP bottle service.
Across town, BarCode in Elizabeth, New Jersey (with free admission until kickoff) is hosting an event dubbed "El Super Bowl de Los Latinos." This COVID-safe watch party has raised funds for humanitarian aid in Sudan, the Black Zine Fair, and COVID mask distribution.
At SOB's in SoHo, a watch party promises a pre-game playlist, free shots whenever anyone scores, and a live host – all without a cover charge due to RSVP requirements.
On Staten Island, local Puerto Rican community organizers are hosting their own celebration of Bad Bunny's music with an event that proudly calls out as its "celebration of Puerto Rican pride."
For those looking for more low-key viewing experiences, Brooklyn hosts Evalyn's Tap House in Boerum Hill and Mexican restaurant La Loncheria in Bushwick.

! He's literally one of my favorite artists right now, and I've been listening to his music nonstop since his last album dropped 
. But what's even more exciting is that he's using this platform to celebrate Latin culture and bring people together 
.
, from the reggaeton-heavy soundtrack in Times Square to the post-halftime bash at The DL. And can we talk about how awesome it is that BarCode in NJ is hosting a watch party with free admission and a live host? 
.
. We're talking watch parties, pre-game playlists, firework visuals... it's all about creating an unforgettable vibe that goes beyond just a sporting event 
.
.
. And the best part? Bad Bunny's music is giving NYC its own shoutout on his latest album 
. The safety concerns might have cancelled some tour dates, but this Super Bowl halftime show is like a gift that keeps on giving 
.
From Times Square to Staten Island, there's something for everyone! I'm def heading to Dramma in Times Square - their reggaeton soundtrack is gonna get me HYPED 
. Like, BarCode in NJ is doing an amazing thing by raising funds for humanitarian aid and COVID mask distribution 
! And, who needs tickets when you can just RSVP for free shots at SOB's? 
and enjoy the vibes!
And the fact that all these watch parties are popping up across NYC is just fire 
. But honestly though, what's going on with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement targeting Bad Bunny's fans? Is this really necessary? 
. but at the same time, it's kinda sad that he had to cancel his mainland tour dates due to safety concerns 
. i'm just glad we get to witness him perform live here in nyc 
its crazy how he's able to rep nyc & latin culture in such a dope way 
he's not just performing, he's bringing the energy of san francisco to nyc and it's gonna be lit 
meanwhile, barcode in nj is hosting a covid-safe watch party with a twist - they're raising funds for humanitarian aid in sudan 
lol i heard some ppl r even organizin benito bowls in their basements lol. anywayz, im def checkin out drammas benito bowl event in tsq - drink specials & reggaeton heavy soundtrack sounds like my jam 
It's no surprise the Benito Bowl is takin' over Times Square and beyond 
!
. Like, why now? Why during Super Bowl weekend? Is it just a coincidence or is there somethin' more goin' on? I don't trust the government and its agencies to be actin' in our best interest, ya know? 
also, 71% of americans are planning to tune in for the halftime show ( source: Nielsen ratings) 
& ppl are goin wild! watch parties are poppin up all over nyc, like they're rivaling those puerto rican day parades 
and the best part? bc bunny cancelled his mainland us tour bcause of safety concerns, so now nycers get to witness him live
