If one was to meet up with friends and take the family out for something to ear prior to a Isles game at UBS what sit down restaurants would you recommended that has parking and also family friendly?

If you’re driving, I would say king Umbertos or someplace in floral park like Jameson’s. Area directly around the arena isn’t quite finished yet.

If you like thin crust pizza try Eddie's Pizza about 10-15 minutes away:

Felt like it was a matter of time before it started taking off. UBS is going to be very well positioned for a long time.

Just finalised our trip from Australia over Christmas and New Year! Very exciting.
Getting to watch Islanders v Blackhawks in Chicago on Dec 15, then will be at UBS for next three home games. Off to Florida, before son and I come back to NY on Jan 14. Staying around corner from UBS and get three games in over five days, before we head to Honolulu to rejoin daughter and wife.
Six home games and one away! Bonzer!
I have a 3-0 record....so worried the perfect record will crumble. LOL.
I will have been to all three Islanders venues...one game in Brooklyn (when I became a fan), and two at Coliseum.
Can't wait.
Any advice appreciated!

Is Offside Tavern still the place to go to watch away games? We will be looking for somewhere to watch the Toronto game on Dec 21?
I thought they closed the manhattan location. Not sure if they opened up somewhere else.

Also, we'll get tickets for most games on resale market...but is there any UBS experience worth doing as a one-off? A particular club or area? Will be 2-4 of us, definitely son and I, maybe wife and daughter as well.
Also, any general seating suggestions? Sections to get or avoid? We'll try and get seats on glass for one game just for the experience I reckon. And get prime seats in lower section for one other, the remainder we'll just take what we get.

Verizon club is fantastic. All you can eat, all you can drink beer, wine, soda, and water (liquor cost extra). Opens an hour before the game, open for an hour after. Seats are in the first 7 or 8 rows, for a few sections, on the end where islanders shoot twice. UBS club is also nice, all you can eat, however, all drinks are extra. It's between the upper and lower bowl, the same level as the suites. I've heard spotlight lounge is fantastic too, haven't been there myself. It is also all you can eat, all you can drink, liquor extra. seats are located in the lower bowl behind the benches.

That I'm not entirely sure about. I've been in the new location several times, but I haven't watched a game there yet. They are still an Islanders-centric place however.

So these are the games we're keen to attend. I am just wondering which ones I can wait until late to get tickets for, and which ones are best to book in advance. I am thinking Toronto and Pens for the latter?
Chicago in Chicago Dec 15
Sabres at UBS Dec 23
Pens at UBS Dec 28
Toronto at UBS Jan 2
Ottawa at UBS Jan 14
Pens at UBS Jan 16
Sharks at UBS Jan 18

Weeknight games you probably have a good chance to wait on.

You’ll probably be alright. January 2 is typically kids first day back to school after the Christmas/holiday break.

Not yet, I drove past the other day. They've made significant progress, but still under construction.

Probably end of October for a very soft opening.
Beyond the village, all public info on the hotel has been mum, however it’s supposed to go in the parking lot (the small one) adjacent to the arena. Pushing it timing wise to have that ready for the ASG in Feb 2026, that’s roughly 15 months. It’s permitted for 250 rooms and 150 tall - it can be taller than UBS.

I wonder if the plan for the hotel has been changed since the plans for the new Belmont grandstand have been released? They're not necessarily tied together, but the site layout has pretty drastically changed. Not to mention the look of the grandstand. I guess it depends on the site of the hotel in relation to the grandstand and UBS....
It's kind of funny that UBS was designed to resemble the grandstand, and now the grandstand is going to be ultra-modern. This would've been a better look for UBS next to the new grandstand:
