The world-famous New York Yankees, with 27 World Series championships—more than any other MLB team—have showcased many of the game’s greatest players, from Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig to Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera. A Yankees game is one of the most iconic sports experiences in New York City and an easy addition to an NYC trip. Fans and food lovers alike can sample standout Stadium eats—featuring New York favorites and local Bronx vendors, plus a fresh lineup of menu options including Brooklyn Dumping Shop's Apple Pie Dumplings, King's Hawaiian Angry Lobster Rolls, and the viral mini dessert "chicken" bucket—while taking in the action on the field. Visitors can also explore the Stadium’s history and take year-round guided tours that offer a behind-the-scenes look at one of baseball’s most famous ballparks, including access to Monument Park.
Pre and post-game: Yankee Stadium is just about 25 minutes from Midtown Manhattan via subway or taxi and just 15 minutes from Grand Central via Metro-North Railroad.
