Twist and Smash’d Sports has created a unique day and nighttime hot spot. The location consists of a 5,000 square foot space with state of the art equipment, two bocce ball courts, and 54 flat screen TVs. They have a full wrap-around island bar where fans can congregate, watch games and choose from 50 beers on tap, along with a host of wine and spirit offerings.

Twist and Smash’d was created by Chef Robert Cano and his daughters while on a family vacation to Ecuador in 2010. In Ecuador the family found a small café that sold twisted potatoes. Enchanted by this idea of a potato on a stick, they brought it back to New York and Twist and Smash’d was born. Cano is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, which means he knows (and loves) food and has led the field in incorporating organic, seasonal, and locally grown ingredients.
