Made in NYC

Made in NYC.

SWM (See With Me) is a fan-built guide for the 2026 World Cup in New York & New Jersey. No sponsors. No PR. Just the routes, transit moves, and food stops we'd send a friend.

The story

Built by a fan, for fans

We grew up riding these subways and crossing these bridges. We've walked the High Line on summer nights, taken the PATH to MetLife in the cold, eaten too many slices at Joe's, and argued about pizza for years. When the tournament got awarded to NY/NJ we wanted a guide that talked like a friend who actually lives here — not a sponsored top-10 list.

Where the recs come from

Every venue, route, and tip is either from our own first-hand experience or from friends we've asked who know a specific neighborhood, cuisine, or scene better than we do. Transit details come from public NJ Transit / MTA / PATH info, FIFA's published fan festival schedule, and the NY/NJ Host Committee's public PDFs. We update as we learn — and we'll always credit a friend who put us on something good.

Independent fan guide

SWM is an independent fan-made guide. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to FIFA, U.S. Soccer, the NY/NJ Host Committee, MetLife Stadium, any participating national team, any sponsor, or any venue, restaurant, bar, museum, or transit operator listed in this app. All venue recommendations come from our own first-hand experience in NYC and from friends we trust. Hours, prices, menus, transit schedules, and event details change constantly — always confirm directly with the venue or operator before showing up. Use this app as a starting point, not as the last word.
