Super Bowl Sunday is here. The day when the world becomes a fan of football.

The Super Bowl is much more than a game, however. It's a time when friends come together to share good food, drinks, and togetherness.

Whether you're meeting the crew at the nearest watering hole or hosting a house party, here's essential information you need to make this Sunday the best game day ever.
Miami's Ten Best Chicken Wings
If you decide to go on a hunt for Miami's best chicken wings, there are a few things to keep in mind. First is to order the smallest available portion at each restaurant because this is a marathon, not a sprint. Beyond that, you'll need a pen and paper to document the intimate details of each variety. Think you've got it covered? Not yet. We also recommend some floss. Squirrel away any extra moist towelettes; they'll come in handy. Bring along a travel bottle of hand sanitizer too. Last, you'll want to have some lip balm. Those wings can burn.
