Repost: SCH NYC Chapter Meetup Thread (WCF Game 1)

by VerStig on May 13, 2010 10:59 AM CDT

Sorry for slacking off on this, but let's get all discussion on this under one roof. This is for New York City (or Tri-State area, kinda, for TMFF) SCHers and anybody else who happens to be in the area.

I'll try to manage this and update it as necessary; only rec it if we actually figure something out.

Next Game: Game 1 @ Sharks, Sun 5/16, 3 pm EDT

Proposed Location: TBD

Other upcoming weekend games (schedule):

Game 4 vs Sharks, Sun 5/23, 3 pm EDT
Game 7 @ Sharks, Sat 5/29, time TBD (if necessary)

Other potential locations:

Blue Moon Mexican Cafe (UES, ahnfire suggested this, I think)
Bailey's Corner Pub (UES, oneminuteremainingintheperiodoneminute did a FanPost on this a while back)
Jack Russell's Pub (UES, has TVs in every booth -- got from this link about hockey bars in NYC)
Warren 77 (Tribeca, Sean Avery’s bar via -BL-)
Mudville 9 (downtown/Tribeca, last time I passed by it was closed, it might be gone)
ESPN Zone? (Times Sq)

I don't know anything about hockey bars in this city so please, PLEASE suggest/discuss more in the comments; I'll add them to the page as needed, and put up a semi-official location if we can agree on anything.

I'm guessing audio is preferred; as for location, I've heard about guys from all over (UWS, Rockaway?, and TMFF is in CT), so let's try to find a good central location.

I'm upfor it. (repost, yahoodi)

I can do Upper east side, seeing as how I’m in Astoria.

The one problem is we’ll be going up against Yankees- Red Sox whatever bar we’re in……

I’ll check back. See if this is happening or not.

I should apologize for never following through on my promise to do this (repost, it'snotsomuchmeasitisroenick)

I’m still around, I just went from semi-regular commenter back to lurker. Tonight is bad for me, I’ll be working up to the game and then back to work after it is over. I am DEFINITELY in for future meetups though.

FYI, I have yet to find any "hockey bars". Besides, Yankees will trump everything else no matter the bar theme. I am willing to travel to anywhere that is reachable by subway.

I'll look into some in Central to SW CT (repost, Toews-makes-funny-faces)

I would love t meet up, but unless we are doing it for something more shiny, I do not think I can swing it. NYC is 2 hours each way for (That’s just the Bronx)

Let's target the next Friday or Saturday game (if applicable... I hope it is!) (repost)

It’ll probably help for this post to be up for long enough for others to see it. And for the Yankees to not be playing the Red Sox…

Keep the location suggestions coming though… just need to be sure that we can get the game. Worst case we’ll at least have a list to choose from for whenever we can get people’s schedules to converge.

If the game is late I'm in

But I’m actually flying back from Chicago on Sunday and don’t get back until the afternoon. If I miss the game I will hate myself.

Game 1 will be difficult

Unfortunately there is no subway service this weekend where I live (way out in Rockaway Park), but I still want to try to catch at least one game with all of you. Next Friday or Saturday will work for me, or even during the week if we can find a place that will show the game. After all, they are all sort of a road watch if you live in NY.

it'snotsomuchmeasitisroenick,

where are you flying in to?

If it’s JFK maybe we could do something out there…

But yeah, I’ll try to give it a shot every weekend seeing as we don’t have the numbers, hockey interest in the city (as of now), or proximity to each other (for TMFF’s sake, we need a shinkansen out here!) to pull this off as easily as our Second City brethren.

If it’s JFK area, that would be easy for me to get to and I wouldn’t miss it, but I don’t know the bars around there, except that there is one right near the JFK subway stop. No idea if they are willing to show the game or what sort of TVs they have.
