Cornell-Hahvahd - where to watch

[Roy 82]

[quote French Rage][quote Roy 82]SF Bay Area folks, I am trying to arrange for the Ice Oasis in Redwood City. I am actually a member now and so there should be no problem.

It's the perfect place to watch hockey. Just twist your head 45 degrees and you are watching a real game through the glass (well, if you call what we play real hockey)[/quote]

Hmm, damn, why'd they have to make it on a Friday this year.  Count me ion as a likely, but maybe a tad late.[/quote]

"Damn" is right. Damn damn damn. It turns out that I can't make it anywhere near on time either and so I have to withdraw this venue (unless another member steps up).  Sorry. Stay tuned. Ahhh the good old days when nothing interfered with hockey.

[quote Hillel Hoffmann]We've found a place to watch the Cornell-Harvard game in Philadelphia.

Please join the Cornell Club of Greater Philadelphia at the Fox & Hounds Smokehouse and Tavern at 1501 Spruce Street in Center City Philadelphia (corner of Spruce & 15th). It's a large space with a lot of screens, but you should be able to find us if you keep looking.

Mass transit is recommended, but we've been told that there is a parking garage above Fox & Hounds (called Parkway Avenue of the Arts Garage?) that may offer discounted parking for the establishment.

I'm sorry to say I won't be there, but please come.[/quote]

That you, Hillel.  Can I ask if there's any sort of cover or anything?  I'm not a member of any Cornell Club chapter.

Too bad you won't be able to make it!

No cover.

Sounds great, thanks!

Bay Area folks -- we've had good luck with Stanley's (at Logitech in San Jose) in the past.  I can give them a call if there's interest.  Only potential issue is that driving to SJ during Friday rush hour doesn't make it any easier for those of us who work until 5 or later to get there quickly to watch most of the game... There's also the possibility of the Old Pro in Palo Alto, which I know is closer for a lot of people, but I've heard that they've been kind of flaky lately in terms of promising coverage for non-mainstream games and then refusing to turn them on for people.  

Anyway, reply or PM with any interest in either of these two venues...

I've heard rumors of a place on the Upper East Side that always has the game on.  Anybody know where it is?  Or, of any other bars that will show the game?

Thanks.

The place is called Ship of Fools, located on 82nd St. and 2nd Ave. (212-570-2651), and they really are Cornell Hockey friendly. They have required a per person minimum in the past, but if I recall correctly, then the Cornell games were during the NCAA's and competing with squeakball tourney games. They MAY not require a minimum at this point in the season, but that's something for you to negotiate with the bar owner. If you can work out the details, then I'm sure there are plenty of Lynah Faithful who will show up dressed in RED. I just don't have the time to arrange it this year.

Personally, I think it's perfectly reasonable for an establishment to require a minimum if they are reserving half of the bar for a large group, but that's just me.

[A-ron]

I spoke with the owner of Ship of Fools last year during the playoffs and he said that he appreciated our patronage and prefers us over the basketball fans.  Riviera was cool but felt mixed with other fans...not the same kind of atmosphere we had at SOF.  Park Ave country club was also fun but felt more like a Cornell alumni event that happened to have a hockey game on in the background (when compared to SOF).

That being said, I'll be at none of the above since I got tickets for the best viewing party: Lynah!

[The Rancor]

anyone else?

[that loud guy with the hair]

I'll be there visiting family.  If anyone knows of any game-watching event or would like to hash one out, please get in touch with me.  I should be able to have access to a car that evening.

[Beeeej]

Can anybody confirm that a group is actually going to Ship of Fools, or that anybody has made arrangements there?  Cornell's Metro Office wanted to know so they could send out an announcement.

FYI-

I just heard about this on WFAN, and tracked down the article.  CSTV is offering the channel free to affiliates this weekend because they are carrying Notre Dame football this weekend. (Of note: This is the first time in 169 games ND is not on CBS/ABC/NBC/ESPN)

Not sure what the easiest way is to find out if your operator is picking up the channel.  I am poking around looking for news regarding Time Warner in NYC.  (I sent an "Instant Access" message into the FAN asking about it, hoping one of their producers will read it and do the legwork to find out about all of New Yorks cable and satellite outlets).

I'm probably going to simply wait and see if I can get the channel by trying to tune it in.

I would definitely love to watch the Harvard game somewhere in the city! Let's get a group together
