Is there a particular place in NYC that the French fans will be congregating for the World Cup games? Sadly, I just got rid of my French tickets - just couldn't make it to Germany this year. Anyways, since I can't sit with the fans in Deutschland, any chance of me doing so here in New York?

There's always Nevada Smiths (3rd ave & 11th) which is an excellent soccer bar and always shows the France games (even the friendlies). I was there for the Mexico game and it was a great time. I imagine for the WC it may get overly crowded so I'll probably want to find some alternative spots.

I think there's a place called Bar-Tabac on Smith street in Bklyn that might show the games on a big screen.

Bar Tabac would be perfect - I live about two blocks from there. I know Jolie on Atlantic Avenue is showing them, but it's not a very lively joint.

I envy you ********ers.

Imagine my options out here......... At least it'll be in HD on the plasma though.

I live in Prospect Heights so I'm not too far either. I definately want to call them up and ask if they will be showing the games. They always answer in French there!

anyone know of a place in LA?

Nevada Smiths is awesome. Also if you are planning to be around mid town Manhattan there is a place called Tonic. I saw the Champions League final there and it was packed. I think they will show all the WC games.

Well I was at the Cat and Fiddle on Sunset Boulevard for the Champions League final. Good venue. They had a nice little terrace outside.

The Cock and Bull in Santa Monica would be your best bet.

In terms of French bars - I dunno. Maybe guignol would know of some...

lefutur - any word from Bar Tabac?

[lambretta76]

Well - they are showing the game, but there was just a handful of French fans there for today's game. Anybody have any better luck elsewhere?
