Hotels for New York Yankees vs. New York Mets

The Yankees and Mets rivalry is one of baseball's greatest storylines, and catching this September matchup at Yankee Stadium is a chance to experience the intensity firsthand. Where you stay matters: the Bronx venue sits near several neighborhoods with very different profiles, from bustling Manhattan edges to quieter Queens locations, each offering different access routes to the game.

The home of the New York Yankees, Yankee Stadium is one of the most storied venues in American sport, hosting baseball, occasional football and stadium concerts in the South Bronx. The surrounding area is busy and local, with Manhattan a short subway ride to the south. The 4, B and D subway lines stop right by the ballpark at 161st Street. Staying in Manhattan keeps the city's dining and nightlife close while leaving a quick, direct subway journey up to the game or show.
