Checking in from Manhattan..

[UPitt '89]

Megabus was packed with Pitt fans...

Heading to Broadway tonight, and on to a Pitt victory tomorrow in the Bronx.

What would be really cool would be for Pitt to announce a new AD and an extension for Narduzzi just before the game.... would make for a great day.

 

[9nationalchampionships]

We are still two hours at least even with my crazy brother driving.

If you are looking for something to do tonight hit Caroline's in TS.

H2P

Swift Hibernia Lounge in the Village near 4th Street & Bowery.
Fun lively place.
But be forewarned - you may feel like the only people there who hasn't snorted 12 lines.
Durden's nearby is the Pitt bar for NYC. Gets big crowds for games.

 

[Nittany1997]

Bundle up!

Much better call than Carolines comedy club. I try to stay the hell out of Times Square at all costs when i go to NYC.

 

[9nationalchampionships]

Haha I just checked and it is warmer in NYC than Pasadena

I just rolled the window down to get fresh air.

Bundle up!

 

[Las Panteras]

if you want a comedy club......go to the comedy cellar in the Village. Right around the corner is Monte's Italian restaurant.

Excellent fare.....and locals....you wont feel like a tourist there.

If anyone is going to Battery Park.....check out Pier A right along the water to the right of the Staten Island Ferry Terminal.

Its an old maritime depot for all shipping in the harbor....with terrific views of the Narrows and the Verrazano Bridge. Now converted to a restaurant and several very long bars. The history on the walls is amazing.....

 

[UPitt '89]

Bundle up!

Why?

It's 60 degrees here in Manhattan today. Walked around town in short sleeves today.

 

[Big Marty1]

This is a great bowl venue. What a blast

 

[Nittany1997]

Then wear sunscreen!

 

[PosterToBeNamedLater]

Already booked dinner at Lattanzi and tickets to "Bronx Tale the Musical".

Lattanzi is great... get the tortellini

 

[panther94]

Anyone know if they have any good pizza places in New York?

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.

i have been to Pier A. Very cool place. Even with so much to choose from in NYC, I would go back there.

We're at Sparks Steakhouse six of us!
Great historical NY place two mob bosses shot to death as they ate their famous Sparks steak and tomatoes.
That's what I ordered tonight.
Steak and tomatoes, baked potatoe, nice wine, etc. Altough I digress and have a few Fireballs to get ready for tomorrow!

Big Paulie didn't make it inside.

Ate at Sparks about 10-11 years ago, I had the filet, she had the halibut. Baked potato and salad. Great meal. Got engaged later that night. What a great time.

I think you need to use a hosting service like photobucket. Post the pic there then link it.

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

Took 2.5 hours to get from the Lincoln Tunnel exit to getting checked in at hotel and car parked.

This is definitely the most crowded I've ever seen Manhattan but its the busiest week of the year so that's to be expected.

Could not be any more different than quaint little Annapolis last year that's for sure. Except for the weather. That's the same. Spring weather the day before, cold for the game.

Anybody know where the team is staying? I saw that famous equipment manager guy (forget his name) but haven't seen anyone else.

 

[maxxwell]

Any Panther fans catching the Pens-Devils game in Newark?

Ox is the famous one.

Not really. Your best bets are Domino's and Pizza Hut.

You've got to be crazy driving into Manhattan any time of the year, let alone this week.

The team is staying at the Sheraton Times Square.

We are lucky to have a place to park and either walk or subway to places. Taking subway to Yankee stadium stop soon to have bloodys and breakfast at Billy's.

H2P

 

[9nationalchampionships]

Heading to stadium with our Pitt group from Billy's. Good crowd of Pitt fans here and fun. Switching over to beer now. Haha

 

[Pittguy93]

Billy's is a zoo

 

[UPitt '89]

Billy's is crazy right now, but the food is actually very good.
