Cornell - Colgate Viewing Parties

[Cornell95]

Yeah, I am no fan of the buses either, but living near the last stop on the Green 'B' line I have a strong distast for that as well.  Probably worth a cab ride over taking public transportation... it would be about 2 miles from Harvard by car, not sure what that is as a cab fare

[Cornell95]

Found this, probably still fairly accurate (there was a 50cent increase this past year which I dont know if this includes)

The fare structure: The first 1/4 mile (when the flag drops) costs $1.75, and each additional 1/8 mile is 30¢.

All together you are looking at $6.50-$7.50 from Harvard Square (each way), so more than $10 and less than $15 for the evening.  If you had a few people it might be worth it, and if it is cold and/or raining definitely worth it

Yeah it looks like you have to call a number instead of doing it online.

[quote nyc94]I'm probably going to the Riviera again for anyone that either lives downtown or loathes the UES.[/quote]Where's that?  (Asks someone who lives downtown and, while he doesn't loathe the UES, finds it a pain to travel to.)

Edit:  Never mind, that place is two blocks from me, I just forgot the name.  How good are they at giving people a TV for obscure games like this?

[A-ron]

I'll be there with my Dad!  Has anyone checked with SOF to see if we can get the back room?

for those looking to call a bar...

They were pretty good about it when I lived down there, as long as I gave them a couple days' notice and tried to bring more than one or two people.  And the service is a damn site better than at Ship of Fools.

I was hoping we could consolidate Cornell fans together...if people would prefer the Riviera, then let's forget about Ship of Fools.  I nearly killed a waitress last year at Ship of Fools while jumping out of my chair after Iggy's short handed goal so maybe it is better to head Downtown...

I was just hoping we could all pick one place and pack as many of us in there as possible.

[Jordan 04]

Sounds like folks are leaning towards Riviera....see you all there.

[nshapiro]

Is there a planned site in Philly?

I'm working on it, Neil. Stay tuned, Philly folks.

See you on the 18th.

[nshapiro]

You da man Hillel....hope the grammar cops don't get me.

[nyc94-nli]

I have never had a problem walking into Riviera (without calling ahead) and getting a TV over the bar, even when it is crowded.

[PinkyGen]

Having been to neither place, am not that attatched. Plus, downtown is closer to me.
