Blonde Brunette & a Redhead is owned by a Cornellian?! Damn, I wish I'd known that, I'd have patronized it a lot more. I will in the future, assuming I stay in my current apartment within easy stumbling distance.
And they're sure they can get what sounds like it'll be a west-coast-only feed?

If anyone finds out about a place downtown, could they please post it here? 5:00 is early enough without having to factor in travel time to get up to Gramercy.
(I also think Proof kinda sucks, but that's besides the point.)

FYI, CSTV currently lists a first round NCAA game on their TV listings (via Yahoo) for Thursday at 5:00. The only game at that time is ours. Not sure if that is a live game they are picking up or a replay of something, but it might be worth looking into for those who can't get to a sports bar (and get CSTV at home).

How far downtown do you want? I'm looking to watch below Canal, preferably in the Financial District. Once I am sure the game is on CSTV I am going to ask around.

Financial District is perfect for me. I don't know many places in the area though, and none that I can think of that would be conducive to a group getting together to watch a game.nyc94Josh '99

The Beekman Pub is friendly, with good drink and food selections. I have no idea if they'll be carrying the game, though, so you'd have to check.

Any details on what kind of screen(s) each of those places will be showing the game on?
I'm right near the Cornell Club, but I'm willing to move if they plan on playing the game only on those 2 small TVs over the Tap & Grill Bar.

I was also thinking of any one of the number of places along Stone Street such as Beckett's or Ulysses'. Those places tend to get pretty packed on Thursday evenings with the post work crowd although maybe this will be less of a problem if people get there for a 5 PM game and claim a space and a TV. Beckett's definitely has the game?

for the one @ the cornell club bar tap & grill, it says all alumni are welcome. I'm guessing this means no membership required? Also, what about friends? They're not alumni.
I tried calling but keep getting a busy or disconnected tone. Guess I will try again later today

I had the same question, please let us know if you find out.
Also whether they're going to bring in a projection screen or something... the TVs at the bar are small and somewhat sight obstructed.

for the one @ the cornell club bar tap & grill, it says all alumni are welcome. I'm guessing this means no membership required? Also, what about friends? They're not alumni.
No membership is required, and they will almost certainly not be checking IDs at the door to verify your alumni status. The Tap & Grill is tiny, though, so anticipate serious crowding. And even with drink specials, the food is absurdly overpriced.
On the other hand, at least the TVs are small and inconveniently placed, and the overpriced food is mediocre.
Going to BBR, myself - stumbling distance from home.

CORNELL CLUB OF NY NOT SHOWING THE GAME
Posted by: Beeeej (Moderator)
Date: March 19, 2008 12:43PM
An update from the NY Metro Office says the Cornell Club of NY will no longer be showing the game, as they do not have the proper DirectTV package.
They did, however, add the Mercury Lounge on 3rd Ave. near 33rd Street. That's awfully close to work for me, so I'm tempted to go there instead of BB&R - anybody else?

Do we have confirmation that any/all of these 3 NYC locales will have the right package? (That's what she said.)
I only ask because the CCNY was an "official" viewing party, and neglected to realize they didn't have the right channel.

I confirmed independently with BB&R on 2nd @ 92nd. They are showing the game - in fact they're opening an hour earlier than usual to do so. I haven't spoken to anybody at Mercury Bar.

I definitely understand the urge to make sure about things, but it would be the height of stupidity for the Cornell Club - after finding out that they couldn't show the game themselves - to send a bulletin about a new location without first finding out if that bar could get the game.CM cWo 44Beeeej

About as stupid as announcing a viewing party to view something that can't be viewed where their hosting the viewing party.
Only thing stupider would be if the viewing party was to watch The View

The Cornell NY Metro Office sent out the bulletin about the new location, not the Cornell Club.

Mercury Bar , NYC - CONFIRMED

I went to the Mercury Bar two years ago for first round NCAA games. They DID have the 5:00 game on (I know this because my work conference ends at 4:30, and I didn't spend two hours watching local news).
That said, I just called them, and a perky-sounding waitress said that they are indeed getting the game.
I'll be wearing a Cornell tie and an Office of Chief Medical Examiner jacket -- for anyone who wants to say "hey, you're that Greenberg guy."

That's enough for me, since nobody else has said they're going to BB&R (besides you, and you later recanted). I'll see you at Mercury. I'll be the guy saying, "Hey, you're that Greenberg guy."

Yep, it's gonna be you, me, and about 150 lurkers. I never manage to get a table at Ship of Fools, even when only three people post that they're coming.

Make you a deal - if you get there first, grab the best seat you can in front of the best TV you can, and if you save me the second best seat, your first beer's on me.
Still deciding what to wear. I might actually go for the bright and hideous Cornell tie, since it's the only Cornell clothing I own that I can get away with even for business casual.

Depends on how many (if any) people I bring from work. We usually do a Thursday happy hour somewhere in the area, so I will try to talk this up. None of them have a rooting interest, and if I tell them my ulterior motive for choosing this place, I might lose my crowd.
In any event, your offer of a free beer intrigues me. I'll see what I can do.

I just don't want to end up standing, or craning my neck for a partial view of a 12" screen. But I could always scram at halftime for BBR, since I have to go that way anyway.

Mercury has a few decent-sized TV's behind the bar, and a couple of larger ones on the outside walls, if memory serves. Since this is the only game at 5:00, they should all be tuned to it. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

So, are we sure CSTV is airing the game? I guess it IS still listed on their website.

I think you can be pretty darn sure. Its listed everywhere as being on CSTV, and the channel is now owned by CBS Sports.

Details on the Ithaca hoops-watching gathering (as posted on Cornell's electronic calendar):
"Watch the game at Moakley House! The Big Red Grill at Moakley House will host a March Madness Celebration in honor of the Cornell Men's Basketball team on Thursday beginning at 4 p.m. when Cornell plays No. 3 seed Stanford. The venue offers two 50-inch flat screen televisions and food and beverages will be available for purchase. There is no admission charge, so plan to join us as we cheer on our Big Red team!"

decided on BB&R...called them up and confirmed they would be showing it on multiple tvs, so should be easier to get a good view. Mercury doestn seem to have many tvs looking @ the pictures.
