Blackstones Bar Thank you Drake for that recommendation.
They had at least four different games on in the bar at any given time, with supporters of all the different teams watching their game of choice. There was an atmosphere to the place without it being claustrophobic.
Being a Redskins fan I thoroughly enjoyed the game that we were watching - Billy didn't have a clue to the rules, so I had to explain them as we went along. Unfortunately we left at half time, so we never did see the end of the game - I get the feeling that the Giants came back though. It's probably just as well that we left when we did.
The barman was great - probably the most stereotypical New Yorker that we met on our stay. Very knowledgable - even knew a thing or two about Scottish soccer teams (and not just the Glasgow teams), which greatly impressed me. He was a Jets fan, so I don't think that he minded seeing the Giants being beaten.
And, to top it all, the burgers were fabulous! Billy reckons that thhey were the best that we had on the trip Stateside.
So, thanks again for the recommendation - we wouldn't have found it without you.
