Heading to the game tomorrow and haven’t been to New York in years.

Looking for some recommendations for places to eat/drink in between Grand Central and MSG.
 
The Harold is a great place to eat. It’s located on West 32nd and Broadway. Great food/drinks!
 
.-.
What kind of price point, cuisine, setting, etc

Lots of options but have to give some direction of what you're looking for
 
The UConn official pre-games are at Legends (6 West 33rd St) and overflow is at Jack Demsey's (36 W 33rd St). Pre-game starts at 4:30 PM. Legends has average pub food (I'm sure Jack Demsey does too). Both will be packed and be a great time.

Both places 2 blocks from MSG.

Hope this helps with your decision!

between GCT and MSG is pretty much all of midtown Manhattan if youre looking for google keywords
 
If you like beer, wooden tables, waitresses in short outfits, and German food :
Reichenbach Hall, West 37th Street, New York, NY

Reichenbach Hall : German Beer Hall: 5 West 37th Street New York, New York NY

Come enjoy authentic German food and beer at Manahattan's largest indoor beerr hall.
reichenbachhall.com

Its just a 10 min walk to MSG and 10 min walk from Grand Central (halfway point)

We usually go to The Tailor Public House on Eighth Ave, usually not too crowded and still a good atmosphere for a pregame meal
 
As someone said that's a lot of real estate for a restaurant.

my .02....if you want a classic NY Steakhouse nearby...Keen's Chophouse it is. Just a few blocks away. A 9pm tip will give you plenty of time for a nice dinner

Bunch of UConn alumni will be meeting at Turntable Chicken Jazz for some of the best Korean fried chicken in the city.

Keens Steakhouse is always a great option and I also like L'Amico for cocktails/pizza/pasta for pregame as well.

Been living in NYC for 11 years and love the food scene!
 
A half a mile away from MSG, in times square, is Virgil's Real BBQ. It is some of the best BBQ I've had, right behind some BBQ I've had in Tennessee. I'd go there for an early dinner and then make my way to Legends or Jack Dempsey's.

I used to go here too...they had that old school feel and a carving station.

However, the last time I went to the Garden the Blarney Stone was not open...not sure if they moved or closed.

Used to love that place too before UConn games and even to watch games on tv. The carving station was a phenomenal deal, especially for NYC.
 
Carmine's is about a 1/2 mile away but you will most likely need a reservation. Plus, the portions are family style so make sure you are with a group.

Carmine’s is always great, but like you said the portions are crazy. Seeing as how every time I go to Carmine’s, Im leaving there with a sick feeling because I ate too much, Im going to pass up on that. I need all my energy for the game.

Carmine's is tourist hell, overpriced and not that good... There are dozens of better Italian options in the area.

There are a lot of Italian options in NYC, but Carmine’s is a great place, and you will get your moneys worth since you’re going to leave there filled up. If you go there with a group of 3-4+ people, the per person price would not really be that much, and you can get a nice variety of food.

That's too bad. On an early bus trip, we hit the Blarney Stone pre-game. A friend of a friend of a friend who hadn't stopped drinking from the night before was hanging with us. By game time he was totally useless. The bartender said to just stick him in a booth and he would keep an eye on him.

Not to derail this thread, but what BBQ places in TN did you like? We moved to Nashville earlier this year and there have been so many great places we tried!

Second this post.

We used to rally there pregame too. I cannot vouch for the food though. An undercover NYC cop actually propositioned me with scalped tickets one year there and flashed his badge saying if I took the tix he'd have arrested me. He even had a beer in his hand too. My friends were like, who was your friend?? Heh. Funny story. Ahh, the memories.

Uuu---Conn!!!

I was there one year for the Big East tourny and there was a bunch of guys from Ansonia who bought counterfeit tickets, learning they got ripped off they went back and bought real tickets. They were having so much fun getting blasted at the Blarney Stone, they never even went in for the UConn Cuse game. We left them when they were talking about blowing lines.

I went to Knoxville, so about an hour East of you. Calhoun's on the river, right next to Univ of Tennessee and their football stadium was amazing. Had bacon wrapped burnt ends.
 
If you don't mind heading up to Broadway, Joe Allens has awesome food.
