Major League Fun in NYC
Catch a New York Yankees baseball game at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx.
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. Take the 4, B, or D trains to 161 St–Yankee Stadium (or Metro-North to Yankees-E 153rd Street) and join fans at nearby spots like Stan’s Sports Bar before first pitch. While you're in the Bronx, make a day of it by pairing a Yankees game with visits to the Bronx Zoo, the New York Botanical Garden, or Arthur Avenue for authentic Italian cuisine.

For an Amazin' time, head to Queens and catch a Mets game!
The New York Mets are ready for another NL East pennant chase, powered by some of baseball’s biggest stars that give fresh life to their fans’ rallying cry: “Ya Gotta Believe!” Their home, Citi Field in Queens, is known for having some of the best food options in Major League Baseball, winning USA Today's Best Baseball Stadium Food four years in a row. Fans can enjoy favorites like Shake Shack and Pat LaFrieda’s famous steak sandwiches, a variety of NYC classics like soft pretzels and pastrami sandwiches, and dozens of other tasty choices. Outside on Mets Plaza, visitors will also find two beloved Mets landmarks: the iconic Home Run Apple and a 10-foot-tall statue honoring Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Seaver. The Mets have a full lineup of promotions and special events this season, including $5 Tuesdays featuring discounted concession options, Post-Game Fireworks Shows on select Friday home games, Block Parties prior to Saturday home games, and Family Sundays. You won’t want to miss out on the Amazin’ experience at Citi Field.
