A WEEKEND OF FUN AWAITS

This has been one helluva week. Between adding on additional duties at the bar, preparing for Cinco de Mayo, the Kentucky Derby, the DE LA HOYA/MAYWEATHER fight as well as tending to patrons and their various personalities, I find myself drained and the weekend hasn't even started yet! That being said, I'm still excited about the upcoming events. With the weather predictions calling for almost perfect weather all weekend long, there should be plenty of fun to go around for everyone. Speaking of which, do you know what Cinco de Mayo is really about? Click HERE for the answer.

FRIDAY: The big event of the night is Game 5 of the NHL Stanley Cup Eastern Conference Semi-Finals, pitting the New York Rangers and their arch-nemesis, the Buffalo Sabres. After what transpired in the last game (the controversial "non-goal" call against the Sabres), you can expect tensions to be at an all time high as both teams are facing what amounts to be a "best two-out-of-three situation. GAME TIME: 7pm and we will broadcast the game WITH SOUND, for all of you Rangers enthusiasts out there. It's also HAPPY HOUR (4pm-8pm), with all Beers, House Wines and Mixed Well Drinks, $4.00.

SATURDAY: The day begins at 12 noon for those looking to start their Cinco de Mayo with a bang. We have the world-famous (well, neighborhood-famous anyways) "KICK the KEG" Saturday (12pm-8pm), with $2.00 mugs, ALL BEERS ON TAP! We're also offering 2 for 1 DOS EQUIS bottles and $5.00 Margaritas (all day long!).

Then at about 4pm, the coverage of the KENTUCKY DERBY begins. This event always draws a crowd, and with 20 horses scheduled to run, I'm pretty sure that we will have another crowd of die-hard enthusiasts. It's always a great time and this year will be more of the same.

And finally, at 9pm, if (you are still standing) the MAIN EVENT of the evening begins. DE LA HOYA vs MAYWEATHER, the highly-anticipated title match will be televised on PPV as well as at THIRD and LONG. The phone's been ringing off the hook for this match (and to be quite honest, I can't remember a time where there's been so much hype for a boxing match); so much so, that I can't wait myself to check it out. It's pretty safe to say that there will be a large crowd for this match, so if I were you, I'd either get my tickets in advance ($20.00 per person) or show up early. There will be great drink specials during the fight and hopefully, a great fight as well.


There's your "Trifecta" in a nutshell. I think by the time Sunday "Fun-Day" rolls around, yours truly will be totally spent. I'm sure that if it turns out to be as fun as I anticipate, then it will indeed be worth every minute of it. I'll be there to celebrate; Will you?
