sports bar for boxing match?
 

We will be in NYC the weekend of the Ward v. Gatti fight (Nov. 23). We looked into actually going to Atlantic City to the fight but the best tickets at the time (2 weeks ago) were $150 and they were very far away from the ring. We decided we will just find a Sports Bar to watch the fight. Besides, we are only in town for the weekend. Going to Atlantic City would just eat up too much of our time. (LOVE NYC!!)<BR><BR>Can anyone recommend a fun sports bar that we can go to that night? I called ESPN Zone but they said they are not showing the fight there. I am pretty certain it is not Pay-per-view. We will go to Hooters if we cannot find a sports bar. Locals, help me out please. <BR><BR>Also, any idea where to get tix for the Rangers v. Islanders game that same afternoon? Thanks.<BR><BR><BR><BR>

Park Avenue Country Club- great restaurant and bar downtown.

Check out the Sporting Club downtown: http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/7113249/<BR><BR>Of course, call first to see if they're showing the fight...I think this place is your best bet.<BR><BR>I thought Hooter's closed (or is about to close -that's what I've heard)<BR><BR>I don't know about the hockey game, except that tickets may be impossible to get. I'd try EBay.

My rec. is the Sporting Club downtown. Here is a bit from www.newyork.citysearch.com:<BR><BR>Sporting Club, 99 Hudson St, New York, NY 10013-2815, Phone: (212) 219-0900<BR>&quot;This cavernous sports bar with its six projection TVs gives Tribeca barstool-jocks something to cheer about. &quot;<BR><BR>Go to the above wesite for more info.<BR> <BR> <BR>

Sorry, Suzanne! I didn't see your e-mail!! How redundant of me....

Thanks for the ideas -- you guys are FAST! Keep the suggestions coming. I'll check back. {:-D
