Super Bowl in Ditmas Park: Where to Get Big Sandwiches and Watch the Game
Super Bowl XLVII airs this Sunday, February 3 at 6:30pm, which means now is the time to think about where you’re going to get a gigantic sandwich for your football (or commercials, or Puppy Bowl) watching party, or to decide where you’re going to go out and watch the big game.
