Choose from modern takes on classic American dishes, such as hamburgers and crab cakes, or go for something more decadent with an order of maple leaf duck confit. Pair those succulent bites with a sour sip, like a Gilded Grand, a mix of Grand Marnier, grapefruit juice, honey, and lemon juice. You can also snack on some Grand Marnier-soaked bread pudding for dessert.

As soon as you walk into American Social, you’ll know: this is where the cool kids go for game day.

For cocktails, order an updated version of a Prohibition-era classic, the Corpse Reviver, made with gin, Grand Marnier, lemon juice, simple syrup, Sauvignon Blanc, a splash of absinthe, and a couple of maraschino cherries.
