The Heap at Art House: A Pop-Up Exhibit
January 28,
This pop-up exhibit will be on display in the Art House Gallery and visible to the public from Marin Boulevard. Featured in this exhibit is The Heap, the brainchild of Hoboken artist Paul Andrejco, that was 30 years in the making. As described in an NJ.com article, The Heap is an eccentric old man who is the guide and storyteller for the puppets of the mythical town of Spudbottom. In a feature with TapInto, Andrejco has said “The Heap is a reflection of the fact that we all carry a lot of stuff with us and as we get older it just keeps building.”

Some enjoy watching their favorite football team from the comfort of their own couch, while others prefer to catch the game at a bar surrounded by other fellow fans. Whether cheering on your favorite team or just waiting for the broadcast team to cut to the celeb suites, there is no shortage of local spots to take in all of the excitement — especially with Super Bowl LIX happening this weekend.

Hoboken
For Buffalo Bills Fans: The Shannon | 106 First Street

For Pittsburgh Steelers Fans: Texas Arizona | 76 River Street
Fans should get in before the game to enjoy all kinds of Sunday food + drink specials. Texas Arizona is known for its corner party scene and Sundays are no different. This bar fills with a sea of black + yellow Pittsburgh Steelers fans by game time.
For Philadelphia Eagles Fans: Mulligan’s | 159 First Street
Mulligan’s is probably best known as the place to catch a European football game, but in the back room on Sundays, Eagles fans fill the scene. The bar opens early on Sundays so wake up, throw on a jersey, and get cheering.
For New England Patriots Fans: McSwiggan’s | 110 First Street
Hoboken keeps the party rolling on First Street with a trip to McSwiggan’s. The Irish pub is home to New England Patriots and the famous Phoenix Shot. Locals can grab a seat on the patio for game time when spring rolls around.
For New York Giants Fans: Black Bear Bar + Grill | 205 Washington Street
That constant buzz, which can erupt into a loud roar at any moment on Sunday afternoons, can be found at Black Bear Bar + Grill on Washington Street. This spot is always overflowing with action and good times. Blackbear is nestled right in the heart of Hoboken and has some of the best burgers in the area, as well as a great atmosphere for watching the G-Men.

The quintessential sports bar right on the Hoboken waterfront, Wicked Wolf, has plenty of beers on tap and countless televisions to ensure that none of the action is missed. The menu includes the game-day staples like wings and burgers, but the beer batter mozzarella sticks, fried pickles, and cheesesteak egg rolls are delicious options with a tall beer, and football, of course.
Jersey City
For Tennessee Titans Fans: Boots + Bones | 116 Newark Avenue
A quick trip to Nashville for a game may be out of the question, but locals can head to Newark Avenue for a little football and a little honky tonk in the heart of Jersey City. Titans fans can line dance up to the bar, or cozy up in a booth and sip some whiskey while cheering for victory. Boots + Bones is the perfect alternative to taking a flight to Nash Vegas.
For New York Jets Fans: Irving Public | 135 Summit Avenue

It’s hard to go anywhere in the area without finding a place to catch the Jets, but Irving Public is the place to go in Jersey City. The Public House is located in The Heights in the former Blarney Pub spot. The space has a chill vibe with plenty of beers on tap and pool tables to stay entertained at the half.
For Teams That Don't Have a Bar: The Ashford | 145 Newark Avenue

New York City
For Kansas City Chiefs Fans: John Brown BBQ | 27-20 40th Avenue, Queens

This one is a bit out of the way for us 6th borough folk, but for those who are really stanning Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, this is the official Kansas City Chiefs bar in NYC. Go hungry because this place serves Kansas City-style BBQ, saving guests an actual trip to the Midwest. There’s also a beer garden and live music.
