The Spurs beat the Knicks 115-111 in Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Monday, locking in at least one more home game at Frost Bank Center.

The arena has rolled out series-specific items while five local spots deliver New York classics built with Texas ingredients and careful technique rather than fleeting trends.

Pullman Market's version of the chopped cheese starts with Wagyu beef patties and American cheese that hit the griddle, get chopped together, and land on a hoagie roll with lettuce, tomato, onion and garlic aioli. The Dogfather adds roasted elote toppings to its hot dogs, turning a street-cart staple into something that respects both cities.

These dishes sit alongside long-running San Antonio restaurants that have refined their takes for years, proving the combinations work because the execution stays sharp instead of chasing photos.

With the series shifting back to San Antonio, fans flying in from New York or driving across town now have clear addresses to hit before tip-off, from 221 Newell Avenue at Pullman Market to the other four recommended kitchens.

The real value shows up in how these places treat the originals as foundations, not costumes, giving visitors and locals the same straightforward satisfaction whether the Spurs close out the series or extend it further.
