"Coming to Standings is an athletic event in and of itself. Unless you get a barstool well before a big game starts, you’ll likely be, well, standing. But rubbing shoulders with some of the city’s most passionate sports fans is exactly why you’re here. This is a dive, which means there’s no food to draw in folks who might not be totally invested in what’s playing out on screen, though you are allowed to bring your own (Titi’s Empanadas will make your neighbors jealous). Think of the lack of liquor behind the bar as a built-in safety feature, given the extremely tight quarters and the likelihood that the Mets will do something disappointing." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim
