Duo
Don’t care one little bit about football? Then get away from all the hype to Duo for the Non-Football Super Bowl Dinner. The evening features a three-course meal and there won’t be a single slider or buffalo wing in sight. There are no televisions here either so this is truly a football free zone. Cost is $50 per couple (because it’s the 50th Super Bowl). Wine and beer are extra, and there will be a special gameday cocktail for an additional cost.
