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. Here are some options in the neighborhood – if you know of any others, please note them in the comments!

They can do 3- and 6-foot versions of any of the sandwiches they offer. You need to place your order at least three days in advance, so get orders in by Thursday.

Ox Cart Tavern, 1301 Newkirk Ave, 718-284-0005
They’ll be serving up their “evil ox wings,” which are just as spicy and delicious as they sound, plus they’ll have on special: a big bowl’a chili, Chicago-style hot dogs (chili dogs too), and loaded super nachos (chicken, chorizo, and steak). The sound will be on for the game too.
