RESULTS MOSTLY As

Why not get together with a group of your closest friends and head out to a busy sports bar, like Elephant & Castle? It’s an easy way to ensure that the energy stays high and food supply doesn’t run out. Also, this is a great way to meet new friends.

MOSTLY Bs

A traditional Super Bowl party may be the perfect thing for you. Invite some friends over to your place, whip up some finger foods (might I suggest sweet potato fries?), buy a six-pack or two and just wait for the fun to happen. Try to load your iPod with good music so that the party can continue into the evening after the game has ended.

MOSTLY Cs To make the most of your Super Bowl Sunday, head over to a posh lounge like the Zagat-rated C Lounge or Dazzling Lounge. But be warned: the dress-code will be far more casual than usual. But if keeping it classy is of the utmost importance, you’d be better off mixing cocktails and exchanging banter while the game plays on low volume in the background.

MOSTLY Ds

Maybe a Super Sunday party isn’t for you.
