WHERE TO WATCH THE BIG GAME

The Pats might not be playoff-bound anytime soon, but Sunday’s game is still an event worth watching. And yes, we are talking about the Puppy Bowl (kidding… maybe). We rounded up some of the best spots for game-day food, drinks and that classic Boston energy — because we know how to rally, no matter who’s playing.
