Yes, it is that time of year once again: Super Bowl Sunday approaches, a day that will put to rest many questions: Ravens or 49ers? Destiny's Child or No Destiny's Child? Too many commercials or too many commercials?

Yes, we realize that some of you may be thinking of Sunday's much-anticipated big event as a live, televised Beyonce show bookended by -- oh, yeah -- football. We also realize that some of you would much prefer to stay home, away from strangers witnessing any diet-busting that just might happen to occur.

Regardless, we've rounded up some of the city's top Super Bowl festivities -- along with the requisite food and drink specials -- for those of you who wouldn't mind enjoying a night away from the couch, but may not have saved enough pennies up for The Public's $10,000 private viewing party-for-50.
