Jets QB Sam Darnold is still getting accustomed to the hustle and bustle of New York City. The West Coast kid does, however, has some favorites in the Big Apple. 

When it comes to baseball, Darnold will always show love to his LA Dodgers. But, if he had to choose between New York's teams -- the Mets and Yankees -- he would stay in the National League. 

"I'm a Dodgers fan, so it's kinda tough," Darnold said in an NFL video. "But Mets, definitely Mets."

Darnold was also quizzed on other New York staples, including their pizza and bagels. The 21-year-old has already tried a slice, which means a bagel needs to come next. 

"Well, I've already tried the pizza," he said. "So I need to try a bagel now."

As for other New York City necessities, Darnold would prefer a taxi over the subway, pretzels over hot dog off the street, and wants to visit the Empire State Building before the Statue of Liberty. 

Darnold will have a few weeks left to drink in the city before he heads to Florham Park as training camp begins for the Jets on July 26.
