Pixx helps where to eat before an NHL game in New York and New Jersey

Going to a hockey game with friends usually starts with another decision.

Where should we eat?

Whether you are seeing the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden, the New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center, or the New York Islanders at UBS Arena, picking a restaurant for a group often takes more work than expected.

One friend wants pizza.

Another wants burgers.

Someone wants sushi.

Someone wants a sports bar.

Another person wants something quick because puck drop is getting closer.

Then the restaurant links start filling the group chat.

Pixx gives your group a simpler way to decide.

Open Pixx, create a group, get restaurant options, vote together, and pick the winner.

Everyone gets a say.

Where should we eat before a Rangers game?

The Rangers play at Madison Square Garden in Midtown Manhattan, which gives fans plenty of restaurants within walking distance of the arena.

That much choice creates another problem.

Which restaurant does everyone actually want?

One friend might want a quick slice before the game. Someone else wants a full dinner. Another person wants drinks. Someone else only cares about staying close to MSG.

Instead of comparing restaurants one at a time, start a Pixx group before everyone arrives in Manhattan.

Your friends review the options.

Everyone votes.

The group picks the restaurant.

Then everyone knows where to meet before the game.

Where should we eat before a Devils game?

The Devils play at Prudential Center in Newark.

A Devils game often brings friends together from different parts of New Jersey and New York, which makes a pregame restaurant an easy meeting point.

The harder part is agreeing on one.

Pixx helps the group make that choice together.

Use Pixx before heading into Newark, vote on restaurant options, and settle the food question before everyone reaches Prudential Center.

That means less time standing outside the arena asking, "Where do you guys want to go?"

Prudential Center also has its own food and arena options for fans who prefer eating after entering the building. The official Devils and Prudential Center resources include arena information, maps, parking, and event details. (nhl.com)

Where should we eat before an Islanders game?

The Islanders play at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York. The arena sits next to the Elmont-UBS Arena LIRR station and includes several food and beverage options inside.

If your group wants to eat before arriving, Pixx helps everyone agree on where to stop.

One person might be coming from Manhattan.

Another from Queens.

Someone else from Long Island.

Instead of letting one person choose the restaurant, create a Pixx group and vote before everyone starts traveling.

Once the group picks a winner, the restaurant becomes the meeting point.

Before the game

This is one of the best times to use Pixx.

Create your group earlier in the day.

Get restaurant options.

Vote together.

Pick the winner.

Then everyone knows where dinner is before heading to MSG, Prudential Center, or UBS Arena.

No last-minute restaurant search.

No ten restaurant links in the group chat.

No one person making the choice for everyone else.

After the game

The same question usually comes back after the final horn.

Where should we go now?

Some people want another drink.

Someone wants food.

Another person wants dessert.

Someone else wants something close to the train.

Instead of standing outside the arena searching maps, open Pixx again.

Let the group vote based on what everyone wants at that moment.

Game-day plans change, especially after a late finish or overtime.

Pixx helps your group make the restaurant decision when you actually know what the night looks like.

Why Pixx works for hockey groups

A group of friends rarely agrees immediately on food.

One person cares about cuisine.

Another cares about price.

Someone wants the closest restaurant.

Someone wants drinks.

Another friend says, "Anything is fine," then votes against the first option.

Pixx gives everyone input without turning dinner into another debate.

The process stays simple.

Create a group.

Get restaurant options.

Vote together.

Pick the winner.

Go eat.

Restaurants also get a chance to reach groups while those people are actively deciding where to eat. Restaurant owners and marketers can learn more at Pixx for Advertisers.

Rangers, Devils, and Islanders fans already have plenty to argue about.

Dinner does not need to be another topic.

The next time your friends ask, "Where should we eat before the hockey game?" open Pixx, let everyone vote, and get back to the game.
