Watch Football, Eat
Those who like to have a bite at a local eatery while not missing a football game will find specials at the bar every Sunday and Monday night during the games at Indian Wells Tavern in Amagansett. A hamburger, six chicken wings, and a pint of draft beer will be offered for $16 on Monday nights at the bar or in the dining room, and items on a bar menu, served only to those who belly up, will be $5.

At Muse in the Harbor in Sag Harbor, a special bar menu will be offered on Monday nights from 5 p.m. until the end of the game, and draft beers will be $4.
