Where to Find Mark Sanchez Now That He's a Jet

When you're a jet, you're a jet all the way....

Talk about hitting the jackpot. USC's Mark Sanchez entered Saturday's NFL Draft as one of the obvious best quarterbacks in the lot, which meant he was virtually assured to land with a struggling team in an overlooked market like Cleveland or Cincinnati. But the not-so-awful Jets made a gutsy move, traded up for the #5 pick, and now Sanchez is headed to New York (well, the Meadowlands…but close enough).

As is often the case with good-looking young QBs, the New York media will be following his every move and of course, every girl he dates. Indeed, we suspect Julia Allison is already plotting her strategy. So where will Mark be spotted upon arrival in the tri-state area? Here are our best bets:

Hot Hotel: For a crash pad near the stadium, Mark can't beat the swank new W Hoboken, which just opened up. (HC was all over it.) Plus, if he needs some tutorials on navigating the NY tabloid scene, Giants QB Eli Manning actually lives nearby in the 'Boken.

Homesick Comfort Food: Welcome to the land of pizza and bagels, Mark. But if you need a dose of West Coast-style eats, check out Harlem hole-in-the-wall Taqueria California. Even die-hard Angelenos are known to approve of the genuine tacos and tamales served here.

Party Spot: Well, first of all, avoid Latin Quarter. But if you want to hang out with other sports stars (and, you know, mingle with sports groupies), Jay-Z's 40-40 Club is a pretty sure bet any night of the week.

Summer Getaway: Let's be honest, celebrities don't stay in New York for the summer—they hit the Hamptons. Sanchez seems pretty down-to-earth to us, so we're thinking he might be happier a little further out, on the more low-key shores of Montauk. The Surf Lodge was a hotspot last summer---and just reopened for the new season.
