Great munchies for great company

Credit: Corbis

The only thing better than settling in front of the TV for Oscar Night, the Super Bowl, or your latest Netflix score is doing it with friends. No need to have a gazillion-inch TV to make a viewing fête fun for all. Just stock your floor with pillows and serve up crowd pleasers, suggest the cool folks who run Ducks Eatery at SPiN New York, a celeb-packed ping-pong club in New York City. Their faves? Sliders, beer, and flavor-spiked popcorn.

More crowd-pleasing tips

Personal popcorn

Fun up popcorn (and keep everyonefrom reaching into the same bowl) by serving it in individual bags ($8 for 50; intheclear.etsy.com). Or brown-bag it!

Bonus seating!
Large throw pillows double as seating. We love this graphic hemp West Elm Totem pillow cover ($29 for cover, inserts are about $14; westelm.com).

Upgrade your beer

Keep it simple: Serve beer. Julie Horowitz from SPiN New York loves unfiltered Blanche de Bruxelles wheat beer (about $7 for a 4-pack; most Whole Foods Markets) for its fruity, smooth flavor. The waist watchers in the crowd will dig Heineken Light (about $8 for a 6-pack). Also fun: Hot Lips Soda ($3.25–$3.50 per bottle; deandeluca.com), made with real fruit (apples, cherries, raspberries).Quick invites
