Hopefully one which doesn't mute their TVs. Thanks.

They have tons of televisions and good food. Mon Aug 26 11:17:11 -0700 2002 1049321 0 belle 4 1049423 I hear good things about Park Ave... I also know that BLONDIE'S, on W. 79th, plays lots of games, and doesn't always mute the sound. I think it depends on who is playing, and how big the game is.

Sometimes you can't get in without a res, so you might want to call ((212) 570-2651) and check...

My recollection is the Florida Gator fans go to the Sporting Club, Alabama fans frequent the Park Ave CC and Blondies is the meeting spot for Ohio State fans. I don't know much about Thursday nights.
