Can't go wrong with Bear's (open at 11am), although it'll be about a 10 minute walk to the XL Center.

Four Dads Pub is my new place. Love the pizza and they do it by the slice. Great garlic knots too

The only pregame lunch which should be discussed is today's lunch.
Looking ahead and anticipating life and our world still existing on the day of the SJU game, is messing with mojo.
Today folks.
What are you pre-gaming with today?!

I agree, I like the pizza by the slice. But getting lunch downtown before a Sunday noon game is going to be tricky. I think you might be better off stopping someplace before you get there. They sell sandwiches from Bears inside the XL. So one option is going in early and eating there before the crowd gets in line. They sell Mac and Cheese for the kids.

Love Augie's, especially their chili dogs. But I don't think they're open on Sunday anymore.

I got turned onto Augie & Rays in the late 1980's by my housemate from East Hartford. We had breakfast there before the Liberty FB game (late arrival, no time to tailgate). One of the best BEC's I've had in a long time! And there is a counter you can eat at inside, and picnic tables under a tent outside (don't know if they have space heaters in the winter)
You're correct, didn't realize the game was on Sunday.

Keep an eye out for reports how easy/difficult it is getting into XL on 12/28 vs ‘Nova which is a reported sellout. The St. John’s game is also pretty much sold out. We haven’t seen many crowds like this at XL in awhile and you may want to either get lunch in XL or after the game. I am expecting very long delays getting thru security and ticketing.
