The nearest subway station is 161st Street—catch a B, D, or 4 train to get there. Bx6 and Bx13 buses also stop at 161st Street and River Avenue. Paid parking is available on River Avenue and 164th Street. Drivers should arrive well before games to avoid heavy traffic.
The Hard Rock Cafe Yankee Stadium is typically open to the public (including non-ticket-holders) Monday through Saturday from 11am to 7pm, and on Sunday from 11am to 5pm. Hours vary on game days, so check online before setting off. Usually quiet on nongame days, the restaurant is packed before games, so get there early and be prepared to wait for a table.
The Hard Rock Cafe is a great option if you have a ticket for a Yankees game. After soaking up the pregame atmosphere over a meal or drink, head straight inside the stadium through an interior corridor. It’s also worth hitting the restaurant after the game to allow the departing crowds to disperse.
