Anyone know best place to watch it?



I watched the Austria away match in the Pig N Whistle  55th and 3rd Avenue.
Good atmosphere there and P.J Clarke's is across the road which does amazing food. Worth a visit.


I concur with the recommendation for grub in PJ Clarke's!

 
Went to the Pig n whistle on 55th last Monday. Was a major disappointment, only about 3 others watching the game, they had no commentary on and had a Frank Sinatra CD playing over the bar, had to ask the barman to turn it off and get the commentary on. They also had subtitles up on the screen which was very off putting
 
At half time we left and went to a bar called The Long Hall (34th street)
Recently opened by a Sligo fella. Was a great crowd in and good atmosphere for the goal and celebrations that ensued
 
 
 
 


Did you head into Foley's on 34th Street?

Right opposite Empire State building.
Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

I was in the Tavern on 54th St and left at half time, and went to the Pig and Whistle for the 2nd half.

Nothing was doing in both boozers.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

 Foley's on 34th Street


I'm actually in NY in November when the play-offs are on.

Was going to head to the Pig N Whistle. 
Is Foleys or the Stout decent spots?

I was in Stout a few years ago for one of the big six nations games and they opened up a fuction room especially for the match.I think they do it for most big Irish games.
Place was packed out but had 4 or 5 tvs and a huge projector screen.
Go in to both the day before and suss them out.Stout is massive compared to Foleys.

Coukd always tip out to Yonkers/Woodlawn and watch it there.Huge Irish community there.

As recommended by people on here:

Staten Island ferry, that island where they registered all the immigrants,

Walk/Cycle round Central Park.

Underground over to Brooklyn and walk back via the bridge. Great for the hangover.

World trade Centre memorial / ground Zero

Top of the rockerfeller centre rather than Empire State. Less Q’s and you can have a drink.

Standard hotel in the meatpacking district - Stunning views.

The Highline for a walk. Great for the hangover.

Go to a comedy club / show on broadway / MSG for a game

Take a tour of Harlem taking in a Gospel choir

Ive heard the high line walk isn’t great



If you’re going with a woman take her out on the rowing boats in Central Park, something a bit different to cycling or walking, very good value for money 20 dollars for an hour and some great views, although depends on the weather I suppose

Highline was sh*te, didn't help that I was in a jocker.

The Intrepid Museum was excellent.

Hop on\off bus is great as you get to see a lot of the city.

The Staten Island ferry is free, if you are going over, might as well go and visit the Irish Hunger Memorial in Battery Park.

I'm being lazy here but in case the guts of the thread is out of date can anyone recommend a nice hotel (priced accordingly) close enough to times square? Middle of the road type - 3/4 star job

I nearly always stay in the Stanford on 43 W 32nd St Thumbs Up

Literally 2 minutes away from Macy's, within a stones throw of The Empire State Building and a 10 minute walk to Times Square.
