My main question is in regards to the Riders game on Saturday night. Are CFL games available in the NJ? If I went to a bar would they have it? Can I watch it online? |
I don't know if you can stream TSN in the states, but all games are available through streaming video. When I was in New York a few years ago, I found a restaurant around Time Squares called the Great Canadian Restaurant, they served all Canadian beer, their menu was heavy on the beef side, and they had CFL games playing on the tube. don't know if its still there, but it might be worth checking out.

If anyone has any really good things to see in the MSG/Empire State/Manhattan area of NY let me know but like I said I really just want to see the main attractions. If anyone is going to suggest seeing a baseball game don't bother, the Mets game isn't until 7pm on Saturday and we don't want to take a 90min+ train ride home at midnight the night before the wedding after spending a whole day in NY.

Central Park is always a great walk, especially if you can hit Strawberry fields, and get a picture taken in front of John Lennon's walk up. Its always worthwhile to go to Times Square and just walk around some of the shops. There's also a Fredricks of Hollywood store in Manhatten with some of the hottest clerks you'll ever see. There's also an indoor porche dealership thats pretty cool.
If you can get up the Empire State Building its a great view, but the lineups tend to be long on weekends, you can also go down to the UN and I think they still do guided tours.
