The first weekend in February is just about here and the Philadelphia Eagles are once again not part of the conversation. But Sunday’s matchup will include plenty of brotherly love as John Harbaugh and his Baltimore Ravens take on younger sibling Jim Harbaugh and his San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII.  

Whether rooting for a favorite Harbaugh or team, Super Bowl Sunday is all about bonding with family and friends. Some fans may watch to rate the night’s best commercials. Another big decision is figuring out where to watch the game. Local establishments are gearing up to serve a packed house of hungry and thirsty patrons. The guide below provides a small sampling of options. Contact the restaurants about any specials being offered Sunday.  

For those hosting a Super Bowl party, this week’s Big Game special section will hopefully make the take-out or delivery decisions a little easier.
