Last night the bar hosted a fundraiser for the
2011 World Police and Fire Games and despite the brutally hot day we had and the torrential downpour that followed, we had a fairly good turnout. Members of
Team NYC were on hand to greet and party with the guests and the Organizing Committee was able to raise a lot of money towards the cost of hosting the Games. So in all, it was a good night for everyone.
And if you were a fan of the
Mavs, it was a better night for you as they were once again able to shut down the
Miami Heat to take a 3-2 series lead. Say what you will about both teams, but it's safe to say that this series has officially captured everyone's attention. Even if you don't give a rat's arse about basketball, you're probably finding yourself taking at least a glimpse at the game, if for nothing else, to see what the big deal is. And with
Dallas on the cusp of winning the Championship over the "
Big Three" (
James, Wade and Bosh), I'm fairly confident that all eyes will be on the TV's this Sunday night.
Meanwhile, the attention shifts back to
Vancouver, British Columbia as the
Canucks try to right the ship in their
Stanley Cup series vs
Boston. The
Bruins exploded for 12 goals in
Games 3 & 4 to tie up the series at two games each. It has been an emotional and very physical series and it will be interesting to see which
Vancouver team will show up to play tonight. We'll carry the game
LIVE (w/Audio) (8pm) with a
Viewing Party, sponsored by
Ommegang BPA (
$4/pints during the game)!
Lots going on this weekend in the
Big Apple, including the
Big Apple BBQ Festival in
Madison Square Park, NY Yankees home vs Cleveland, The Belmont Stakes and of course, my FAVORITE parade, the
Puerto Rican Day Parade. Summer is definitely kicking into high gear!
AND FINALLY: For a limited time only,
Third and Long has brought on board
ALEXANDER KEITH'S NOVA SCOTIA STYLE BROWN ALE! Enjoy it while it lasts!
Enjoy the weekend and remember to check out
