This is Live with Trish!

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is coming to MetLife Stadium, and I’m taking you behind the scenes to the restaurants, bars, hotels, and local businesses preparing for the massive crowds coming to East Rutherford, New Jersey.

In this episode, I sit down with Mike McCarthy from The Union Bar & Provisions, a classic New York-style tavern located just minutes from MetLife Stadium.

Mike talks about: ⚽ How they’re preparing for the World Cup crowds 🍔 Their scratch-made comfort food 🍸 Signature drinks like the Espresso Martini & Spicy Paloma with Tajín 📺 Plans to have the games playing all day long 🍺 Creating the ultimate fan atmosphere during the tournament

If you’re traveling to the World Cup — or just looking for a great place to watch the games — this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

And rumor has it… if you mention you heard about the place from Live with Trish… you just might get yourself a free beer!

Stay tuned because next week I’ll be interviewing World of Blue Hotel — one of the closest luxury hotels to MetLife Stadium — to hear how they’re preparing for the influx of international visitors coming to the World Cup.
