NEW YORK YANKEES | YANKEE STADIUM
Stan’s Sports Bar is a loud, crowded, charmless swill hole … and you absolutely have to go. Since the 1970s, this institution across the street from the old Yankee Stadium (and a block away from the new Yankee Stadium) has been a game-day mainstay, competing valiantly with the No. 4 subway train overhead — it travels above-ground near Yankee Stadium — in an endless battle to create the most noise pollution and unidentified floor fluids.
Backup bar: Slightly more subdued than Stan’s, the Yankee Tavern has been family-owned since 1923, and has played host to the likes of Lou Gehrig, Yogi Berra, and Babe Ruth.
