WAR OF THE TITANS...

If you are a fan of rugby and specifically the Six Nations Tournament, then you are no doubt looking forward to tomorrow, when hated rivals ENGLAND and defending Six Nations Champions, FRANCE face off against one another LIVE (11:30am)! 

Now as a casual fan of the sport, I put Rugby in the same category as Women's Curling.  Don't quite understand the sport, but whenever it's on, I find myself fixated on it.  It is a beautiful, yet brutal sport to watch and I can certainly understand how true fans would be into it.  During the year we hardly ever get calls for rugby, but whenever the Six Nations roll around, the phone rings constantly.  I even had a cute young lady ask me yesterday if we were carrying the match on Saturday.  What does that tell you? 


ENGLAND vs FRANCE, 11:30am, Live.


It's that time again.  OSCAR NIGHT is upon us and this weekend, we'll be bombarded with commercials, predictions, red carpet gossip and finally, the show itself.  Who will win Best Picture?  Best Actor?  Best Actress?  All of those questions will finally be answered once and for all on Sunday night. 

Now every year, we host a Viewing Party where movie buffs gather to watch the ceremony and make their own predictions on who's going to win what.  Now I've usually pretty good at making these predictions and I usually win or come pretty close to winning the Predictions contest each year.  That being said, do you think you have what it takes to be the Master of Cinema?  Then join me on Sunday night, fill out our Oscars Predictions Sheet and see if you have what it takes to beat the house!  Best score gets a $25 bar tab from us! Show starts at 8pm!  Drinks specials throughout the night!

Last night we hosted a 30th birthday party for a lovely young lady who works with the FDNY.  She was apparently well-liked as there were a ton of folks there to celebrate her big night with her.  Normally with birthday parties, I can take them or leave them.  In this case, however, I really liked the vibe of this particular party.  Nothing fancy, mind you, just a straight-forward event where everyone enjoyed each other's company.  Good music on the newly-upgraded jukebox (thank god), and great conversations throughout the room.  Party stayed late and most importantly, everyone had a great time.  What more could you ask for?  I only wished all parties went this smoothly.

TONIGHT: Start off the weekend with our "Weekend Kick-Off", where $4 Domestic Drafts/Well Drinks will help grease the wheels towards a fun-filled weekend!  Catch the NY Rangers, NJ Devils and the NY Knicks in action!  Or choose to watch your favorite NHL team via our NHL Center Ice Package!


That's it for now.  Stay dry!
