The Field: Soccer Post Soccer Center

The Spot: Mrs Georgia

Best for: Casual carb replenishment & sharing plates with your teammates. Georgian food is the cozy hug we need when the weather gets cool, and dining here means you might catch a rising star performing a comedy act on stage too.

The Spot: Pangat

Backyard pop ups specializing in regional Indian delicacies are part of the charm at Pangat, a casual Indian joint less than five minute walk from Washington Park. You’ll want to DM via Instagram if you plan on sampling one of their backyard events, which include one focusing on Mumbai Street Food this coming Saturday August 30th.

Tribeca

The Field: Columbus Park

The Spot: Musaafer

Best for: Team dinners in a big, beautiful dining room where you’re all cool with getting a taste of everything. We clearly love Indian food here at NYC Footy since there tends to be plenty of vegan and vegetarian options in addition to what carnivores crave. lThis Houston import includes riffs on traditional regional Indian dishes so expect to see birria tacos with lamb shank and Indian cheddar, and a beef vindaloo made with American wagyu,

Team tiki drinks after a match at Loyola rooftop is the move this fall. **Photo:** **Zofia’s Hideout**

The Field: Loyola School Rooftop

The Spot: Zofia’s Hideout

A new tucked-away tiki bar might be just the change of pace your team needs after a rooftop match at The Loyola School. This newly opened tiki bar is a quick 10-minute walk away and features a lineup of traditional tiki standbys. Tiki drinks can tend to be strong, so don’t be shy about bringing in your full line for a sip-by-sip attack.
