Yankees v. Red Sox -- where to watch?

rah

Where in the neighborhood can I watch the Yankees v. Red Sox game tonight? Bonus points for a place that will have the White Sox v. Indians game on at the same time.

I know that 200 Fifth will be showing it - good food too

um, where might it be safe to watch the game if you are a Sox fan?

The Lighthouse - aka the Shipwreck, aka The Teal Bar - the place next door to Aunt Suzies, on 5th and maybe Carroll - I think the majority of bartenders there are either a) from Boston or b) hate the yankees. The vibe can be a little wierd, though.

The Park Slope Ale House is usually showing the game.

I'm going in to the Hairy Monk because I have friends coming in to join us.

And thus the place should be moved to Boston, where it belongs.

I walked into that place and it was like some weird after-hours den of iniquity. Boston fans sitting in the dark watching the Sox. I ran as though I had stumbled upon a nasty underworld.

No offense, but I'm a little tired of all these new fairweather Boston fans in NYC with their fresh-out-of-the-oven hats.

Not my buddy - say it aint so Im still like ya anyway. Im glad you didn't say anything to Jay that day - I swear if you cut him he bleeds pinstripes

This is a good question! I have a friend coming in from DC, and no matter what, he's gotta catch the game on Saturday afternoon. That new Nalani cafe on Vanderbilt seems to do a bit of the "sports bar" thing.

Yes, I didn't dare mention anything in front of your husband or son who were proudly sporting their Yankees attire, but what can I say? The Sox are the hometeam for this cupcake.

Freddy's actually had a large Red Sox contingent, but that bartender is gone so the vibe is hopefully more new york now.

i know that mezcals usually has more than a few boston fans watching.

My boyfriend, a huge Red Sox fan, will be watching the game at Bar on Smith & Sackett. He says, and I quote "Last year it turned into a regular outpost of Red Sox Nation. The Yankees fans had to leave because they weren't having any fun." There will be some die-hard Yankees fans there, no doubt. But hat only makes it more exciting. The head Sox fan #1 will be standing right next to the TV because he will undoubtable forget his glasses. Good natured ribbing all 'round.

As a Red Sox fan I will probably go to a Mets bar to watch.

Mets bars? I'm intrigued. What bars in the area are Mets friendly?

On a baseball related note, I saw my last Mike Piazza at bat tonight at Shea, he struck out with the bases loaded. Disappointing, but I was happy he got such a nice sendoff. Plus my friend drove me and we made it back to PH by car in 16 minutes.

Tim was a sox fan. Great bartender nonetheless.

Matt is a Yankees fan.

And I agree, it is disappointing to find 'red sox' bars in Brooklyn.

Loki's on 5th is a Mets bar. But the Mets aren't on TV again 'til next April.

You think Red Sox fans have it rough? Try being a Braves fan in NYC. I grew up in Florida; Atlanta was the only team even remotely close to us until the founding of the Marlin (the plural of marlin is marlin...).
