    Any other Rockets fans in New York City want to get together to watch the playoffs? If there's a Houston bar somewhere, great, otherwise we can pick one.

    Have you ever been to the Texans bar in the east village? I swear everyone in there is a Houston fan. I may go there with some buddies of mine who are also from Houston on Wednesday night. Otherwise, I like the intensity of sitting 1 inch away from my tv. Its a lot easier to justify why I peed in my pants when Im not in public.

    Do you mean Idle Hands? Great bar, great owner. Think they won't have the sound on though.

    I'm in NYC. I've been looking for a bar that will play the games with sound, but I haven't had any luck. If anyone knows any please let me know.

    So, um, any places?

    That would be extremely hard to find, but do share as well if you do.

    I'm sure it will be easy to find a bar with the game playing since its a playoff game and on TNT. I really want to find a place were people will be cheering for the Rockets though. Sound is just a luxury.

    Its cold and gloomy so I might just go back to blondie's. Nothing beats walking two blocks home drunk out of your mind at 1:30 in the morning. They play the games with sound fwiw. I didn't realize that wasn't the norm.

    I'll be there along with 2 or 3 other rockets fans. 79th and amsterdam

    Theres a subway station right there at the corner of 79 and Broadway where you can take the 1. If you need 2 or 3 there's another one at 72 and Broadway. I'm just visiting and still getting accustomed to the public transportation but its quite amazing

    Its gotten worse. But we're in the back if you decide to come. They have the game on the big screen with sound.
