As residents throughout Mahwah are preparing to watch Big Blue take on the New England Patriots in Sunday’s big game, bars and restaurants in town are prepping for big crowds of fans.

“We are just excited that the Giants are playing,” Craig Kunisch, owner of the Mahwah Bar and Grill said. “People want to be around other fans for a game like this, so we are hoping that will bring big crowds.”

George Ghobrial at The Shake and Sizzle on Franklin Turnpike is excited for the game. “This is our first year in town so it’s our first big Super Bowl party,” he said. “We are excited to have people come by.”

If you are looking for a place to go for the game with your fellow fans, check out these parties:

• The Mason Jar – Starting at 6 p.m., the Mason Jar will be having an ‘All You Can Eat’ buffet for $15 per person. Entrees will include football classics like meatball marinara, pigs in a blanket, baked ziti, chicken parm, sliders, buffalo wings and sausage and peppers, along with drink specials. The party will also include a flat screen TV raffle to benefit Mahwah Fire Co. 2.
