No Fudruckers!!! That and I believe it was called Cozumel's is where I would go before games at the barn. Haven't been to the new rink yet.
UBS Arena: Westbound and Down (or something like that)

This looks really nice. Great idea. It shows just how much can be done with the space outside of the arena.

Wow…had no idea they were doing this. Where is it? I walk from the garage every game and didn’t see any work going onThis looks really nice. Great idea. It shows just how much can be done with the space outside of the arena.

"Guests are allowed to BYOB up to a 6-pack of cans per person (21 years of age or older)."
Next thing you know cars will star getting keyed.
At the arena we have Belmont Hall, a beer hall with a pub grub menu. It opens at 4 PM ahead of a 7:30 faceoff and can get pretty crowded. Remember, the arena surroundings are still a work in progress.
If you have a rental car, I suggest the adjacent Floral Park neighborhood. Plenty of neighborhood bars and restaurants for pre-gaming. Only a 10 minute drive from UBS Arena.

I would advise against going to Belmont Hall in the arena. Service is terrible and you can barely breathe in there. It really depends where you're staying.
Like MJF said, the area is still under development so there's not much there. If you're staying on the Island, I have a few suggestions.

you can also bring some drinks on the train, as long as you're not being an asshole, no ones going to bother you.

5 minutes before you arrived at the cesspool known as Time Square. On a more serious note; with it being a 7:30 puck drop, you have 6 trains from leaving from Penn Stature between times of 5:10pm to 6:33pm that’ll get you there in time for puck drop. It all depends on how much time before you want to walk around/grab food/watch warmups.

It doesn't help for tonight's game, but once "The Park" is up and running in a few weeks they're going to have the beer garden between the rinks and also food trucks with "fan friendly prices". So if the weather's not bad you could get to the game early and even bring a few beers and hang out there. That could be a good cost-effective option. Hang with Shannon and Thomas.

All advice accepted, no blame apportioned! lol
The advantage of AIr BNB is that there is four of us...two adults and two kids...one 19 and one 15. So we kinda need three beds and two bedrooms at least. Which is where Air BNB comes into play. I checked out Garden City Hotel but that was no bueno. We've done the Manhattan thing before so quite keen on staying in a house on the island, we can commute to Manhattan when we feel like it. If we can get something for around $300AUD ($200US) per night we'll be happy. There are a few decent looking Air BNB houses for that near UBS. I don't expect the Ritz!

For those going to games from NYC is this the route most take?
NYC Penn Station >> Elmont NY Station via LIRR
When you arrive at the Elmont station do you walk to the arena OR do you take a shuttle bus? for the latter do you need to buy or a show a ticket for this trip?

Yeah, that's the route if you're coming from Manhattan, but the Elmont-UBS station is the stop no matter which direction you're coming from.
As far as walking vs. shuttle bus, for me it all depends on the circumstances. I live in the city, so I'm used to walking and don't mind doing so. But if the weather is shitty, I jump on the bus. It's free from the station to the arena so you don't have to buy or show anything to get on the bus.

Good stuff how early do the shuttles start and is this something offered generously by the Isles or the LIRR, I assume they only offer this to the arena and not on the way back.

Stay safe!
Complimentary service back and forth. The bus is sweet, those luxury liners with comfy ass seats.

I don't know how early exactly they start, but I've come off the train as early as 4:30 and they're already waiting to take people to the arena.

I'm excited, finally getting a chance to see a game this Tuesday at UBS. Haven't been able to visit NY since before Covid.
