watching game a turtle bay in New York!

You are in NY? That's WAY COOL!

U ever been to Turtle Bay? I went for the KY game last season. Its not a bad place. But I wont be going back. Not only because they lost but because there were a bunch of gay dudes doin line dances by the bar. They were also blaring the fight song during time outs when I was trying to hear what the announcers had to say. I'm in NY this week I'll prolly catch it on 360 or smthin tho.

I guess I will have todosge the gay line dancing. If it was a national game I would worry about the announcers a little more. Beer and LSU football can't be that bad!

We were in NYC for the opening game (MS State)last year...We went to Turtle Bay. The place was packed wall to wall with purple-and-gold- wearing Tiger fanatics. There weren't any gay guys dancing, but then again, it was so crowded, there wasn't any room!!

I am so jealous that you are in NYC!!! Wear your LSU gear whenever you're out and about...you'll get lots of positive comments from the natives!

Have fun!!!!

Have been living up here for 6 years and its always great to hear a "Geaux Tigers" when you are 1500 miles from home. Will be watching Gameplan from the comfort of my Tiger room and 109 inch TV screen. No line for Abita when its your own bar. GEAUX TIGERS!!!

I'll be there! I'll look out for you even though I have no idea who you are

I'll be there! I'll be handing out the cups part of the time. I'll be a 6' white guy with a gold LSUNY polo and a poor excuse for a head of hair that will probably be concealed by a faded purple LSU baseball hat.

For those of you who don't want a wall-to-wall crowd, I don't expect one tonight. Though it's been a while since most have seen LSU football, it's still an OOC cupcake game, so the beer should be flowing nicely.

Anytime LSU is playing an unranked team*, Turtle Bay is fairly navigable.

*unless the unranked team is Alabama, Auburn, Florida, or an SEC East champion playing in Atlanta.

987 2nd Avenue (b/t 52nd/53rd)

You can walk from Times Square to Turtle Bay in like 15 minutes. Or walk over to 42nd/8th and take the E uptown to Lexington/53rd and walk two blocks east, and you're right there. You'll probably see some smokers in p&g.

I am trying to make it over for a game only a short train ride away....

I have been in NYC for almost two years and I just now have heard of this place.

Anyways, I hear it gets wall to wall packed. The game I will be going for (since I have some friends visiting me from Baton Rouge) is for October 11th vs Florida.

My question is... What time is a good time to ensure yourself you get a seat at the bar, in front of the tv?

The Florida Game time is TBA but I will assume it will be primetime at 8 here.

So what time should I get there? 11? 12? 1? to get a seat at the bar.

Thanks in advance and it is cool to see so many Tiger fans up here in NYC.
