Hey folks,
First post
Originally from Toronto but now living in NYC.
I'll be at both the Red Bulls and NYCFC home openers vs Toronto.
Hope to meet some of you down here
Good thing I sat on it for a day, got the return flight booked at $301. Also will be on the same flight back (7:20PM) as the rest of ya's.
How many people will be in NYC on the Sat night?
I know my group of 3 will be
Assuming the whiskey walkers can still walk after their whiskey... a Manhattan meetup can and should be arranged.
I am getting into NYC early Saturday morning, off to the St. John's Providence game at MSG that afternoon, 12:30 tipoff, will be around after if anyone wants to hit up a bar.

Yes this must happen!
BPL Schedule for Saturday morning has some tasty matchups:
Early early morning affair has Arsenal vs Tottenham @ 7:45AM
10am has: Everton v West Ham, Chelsea v Stoke, Man City v Aston Villa
12:30pm game is Watford v Leicester
Planning on going to The Football Factory at Legends Bar (https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Foo...429422427fcbdf)
to watch this if anyone else is up for some breakfast and early morning footie.
The bar is open til 4 am as well so could be a good option for an evening meetup as well!
I'm not in town til 1130 on the saturday morning but will let the other part of the group i'm going with know.
According to NY liquor laws, bars can begin selling alcohol at 8am Monday-Saturday..
However for those of us looking to predrink at Catas before the game, it appears we will either have to do a quick smash and dash, or possibily do up the
Viking Army Tailgate instead, because on Sundays Bars can't start serving alcohol until Noon.
Just a heads up for everyone, Football Factory is a section of Legends.

Just got tickets - first away game in a while... Just realized I was in New York that weekend for the wife's birthday so managed to convince her to attend so we're adding an extra day! When my son heard what we are up to he begged us to join so now we have a gatecrasher 8-) Should be a great weekend. Can't wait!
Toronto 'til I die although still a Leeds fan at heart...
Looks like Smithfields is the place to watch footy in NY especially the early games. http://smithfieldnyc.com/football/all/
For those looking to book a hotel..
I just booked this one in Harrison. It is litterally a 5 minute walk to Red Bull Arena, and the Harrison train station is right at your doorstep to take you right into NYC
Great deal on right now as well. $190/night for room with 2 queen beds, a living room area and kitchen!
