It's Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! Take in the Giants taking on the Pats in the big game this Sunday on a big screen with lots of other fans to cheer and jeer along with you. If you're in Queens, don't miss a single detail of the game on the enormous 28-foot-by-18-foot high-def TV at the Big Game Tailgate at Bar 360 on the Times Square Casino Floor at Resorts World New York. Admission is free, beers and hot dogs are $2 each, a bucket of wings will run you $5, and bring some extra cash for a little casino time. Feeling the Brooklyn vibe more? Head to the Brooklyn Bowl for full game audio, Blue Ribbon grub and local beer. Doors open at noon, so you have plenty of time for some serious revelry before game time.
