After all, what better place to enjoy the enduring pleasures in life—flat screens, finger foods and cushy sofas—than the comforting confines of home sweet home? In New York City's northern suburbs, it's also a time when the countless creative homeowners who have crafted bespoke lairs for undisturbed sports-viewing sanctum see their efforts culminate. Here are some of the best spaces from our listings to gather the guys (and gals), indulge in your last buckets of wings before kicking off the pre-summer diets and workouts and tune into the big game:
