Musketeer Gripweed Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Totally unsure what to put im my case for my 5day trip nxt mon as never been. Too warm for jeans. Too cold.ish for shorts...??! I got sunburnt last Wednesday and had shorts on the whole time I was there. It rained once, really heavily, but it wasn't cold. It was a bit chilly at night though. The local TV channels are obsessed with the weather and give you an update every 15 minutes. So check that out before leaving your hotel in the morning. I can recommend another restaurant. http://www.carminesnyc.com/ on 44th Street. Huge sharing plates that were utterly fantastic, and not too expensive either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirks-Finest Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Anyone know a bar/pub in New York that will show Scottish football? Trying to find somewhere to watch the Falkirk Kilmarnock play off final games? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 BTW ont he subject of bars, 44th street just off times square is Jimmy's corner. If theres one place I always recommend to go, its here. Absolute dive of a wee bar, run by Jimmy Glen, former cut-man to just about every boxer who mattered in the last fifty years. Legend of a gent, his wife is a star too, and the atmosphere in there is great. Any time of day. I stayed in the Millennium hotel straight across the road from there. Had a few beers in there every night before heading out on the town. As you say, a complete dive of a bar but great all the same. 99 times out of 100 you'd miss it and right right past the place, if you didn't know it was there. Spoke to Jimmy a couple of times in the week I was there and he seemed like a right miserable old c**t, but a legend in the boxing community. I'm sure it was $3 a beer which is cheap for anywhere, never mind Times Square. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkirks-Finest Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Hmm had a wee look at the highlands website I'm not sure they will show it, will still ask though, I found a bar online called the football factory on 33rd st, I think this might be worth a try? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see they screened Wimbledon v Accrington on Saturday so surely they can screen the play off final? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 That's my last resort on the iPad! You might find a bar that will bung it on the TV if you pay for it, and they don't have it on cable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to find somewhere to watch the Falkirk Kilmarnock play off final games? Have a gander at The Big Apple Bears' website. I bet if you messaged admin there they'd be delighted to guide you and may well buy you a pint. I'm not sure who's running the shop now but they are a decent bunch and I've watched games there (in their old bar) a few times. If you're nervous I'll happily fire off an email on your behalf. http://www.bigapplebears.com/p/please-read-frequently-asked-questions.html Edited May 16, 2016 by The_Kincardine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Football factory had 5 different games on when I was there including letting a PSV fan hook his iPad up to TV with his PSV account.

Musketeer Gripweed Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Carragher's Bar has wall to wall football, surprisingly. Watched the Villareal game there the other week. It's on 39th Street between 7th and 8th. http://carraghersnyc.com/I am sure if you contact them, they will let you know if they are showing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby carlos Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Flying out on Wednesday. Edinburgh to Dublin, Dublin to JFK. The wife wants to go to Carragher's as she's heard it's decent for food so will hopefully go there for the champs league final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melany Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I love New York! I spent a few weeks there, a totally different me was walking the streets of Big Apple, there is something magical about this city. It's always so busy, but still amazing! I remember being on the top of Empire State Building on my Birthday! The view was breath-taking I will never forget the feeling! I was at the zoo where one the Hitch scenes were shot. I love it and want to come back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
