does anyone know a good pub for watching the World Cup games?
Any World Cup Fans Out there?
You betcha! I live downtown, so you can bet I'll be @ O'Hanlon's on 14th & 1st. Just about any Irish pub will have the games on. They're crazy over football.
Forza Italia!!!!!!!!!!!!
Foza gli Azzurri!!!!!!!
Swedish fans will be viewing and celebrating at:
Slate
54 West 21st Street
Go to the Fox Soccer channel. They have a list of pubs in NYC that subscribe to the channel (while the games are being shown on ESPN and ABC, a pub that subscribes to the Fox Soccer channel and lists themselves on the website is a place where soccer is taken seriously and will surely be showing the World Cup games).
george vecsey of the NY Times always go to L'Angelo's at Thompson and Houston. Otherwise Nevada Smith on 2nd and 12th - if you want to party with some nutty British fans.
It has to be Nevada Smiths -
I think Nathan Hales down on Murray St is an unofficial USA supporters club venue. Get there in the early stages of the competition though...;-)
This restaurant, at 6th Ave and 21st St, is showing all the matches.
Time Out New York, June 8-14 issue, page 28 has a decent Viewing Guide.
"In Brooklyn try ""Soda"" 629 Vanderbilt ( Prospect / St.Marks). 718 230 8993...Never been inside ,, but they have a sign in the window inviting fans to stop in and watch the games . Great special on tap..... I'll be watching on FOX.. or RAI.. Forza Azzurri ........ciao Tony"
