Everblades in NYC and/or DC

[RedAR]

Not sure where I'll be during the tournament, either NYC or DC, but was wondering if there were any plans to gather to watch in either of these places.

[KeithK]

I'll be in NYC and would like to see the games (if famiy schedule allows).  But I can't make any plans as I'm on the left coast until Thursday.

Rockin' out here in DC. I'm extremely new to the area though. . . anyone have any ideas where we could watch it? Crystal City sports bar and Champs in Pentagon City are the only things that come to my mind, but then again, I live in Arlington.

Champps might be a little hard to get a screen. They are clustered in groups on the wall and are almost more decoration. Pub would be a better bet of the two. You could get a corner somewhere and one of the waitresses will gladly change a set for you.

There is sportszone in DC but I dont think that would be ideal for grabbing a set either. Summers up on Courthouse road is a nice place but I havent been there in years so I cant say.

Where did people end up going to watch the games in DC last year?

[Bio '04]

Looks like the Cornell Club of DC put something together last year.  Perhaps they'll do it again?  ::hint, hint::

Isn't the Crystal City Sports Bar a strip joint?

I'm trying to remember Restaurant Row -- I can't remember whether the CCSB is the legit sports bar that has wings specials, across the street from the Vietnamese noodle restaurant, or the sleaze dive two blocks down.

Anyway, I might be up for that (the sports bar, not the strip joint), if I can drag myself in from Frederick Cty.

Come all ye Faithful to Ship of Fools on Dec. 28 for The Game. It's on Second Ave. around 82nd Street in Manhattan. About eight of us were there last year for the Everblades action.

[Jordan 04]

Was at Ship of Fools last year for the OSU game.  Will mostly likely be there again this year.

[Josh 03]

I was at Ship of Fools last year for a game with tons of people there.  It was a CU vs. Harvard (sucks) game in January.  Was the attendance for Everblades only 8?  A friend of mine who works at CSTV mentioned the idea of having a camera there and some giveaways (she was at the CU Hav game with me last year, but I think she was envisioning a crew more of that size than the 8 for Everblades.  Anyone else planning on going?

I might be there

Yes, there's a Crystal City Sports Bar and a Crystal City Sports Pub, one is a sports bar, the other is a strip joint, don't remember which is which but I had this explained to me. I think the Sports Bar is the strippers and the Sports Pub is no strippers. I was at the pub (no strippers) a year or so back when CCW had the Cornell/Yale game there.
There is an espnzone in the city but you probably wouldn't be able to get it on the big screen. CCW also had a few gatherings at some sports bar down town...maybe in the Hilton?
Quick check of washingtonpost.com shows the Pub is the one you want. Relatively cheap food (compared to the rest of the area), and pretty decent space and # of tvs.

I'd volunteer my house but I should be down in FL :-)

[KeithK]

OK, I'll probably be at SoF then for the games.

As for attendance, I suspect you'd generally get  alot more people for a Cornell-Harvard game than for another RS game, even if it is against some good teams.  Also depends on how much advertising there was through Cornell channels (not just here).

[Jacob '06]

So does anyone know any good sports bars in the princeton area that would be willing to show the game? Preferably one that you don't have to be 21 to get in to.

[RedAR]

It seems as if the Cornell Club of Washington showed last year's Lynah East game at Fran O'Briens Steakhouse. Does anyone know anything about this place?

I think someone should take the lead and call around to see which place is willing to put on the game for us in the DC area. I am more than willing to, but I'm not a local, and so don't know which bars are good and/or convenient for most folks.

I will inquire at Fran O'Briens tomorrow, but could someone familiar with the DC area please look into other places?

Thanks.
