Where could I find Battlestar Galactica at a bar in NYC?

October 6, 2006 4:04 PM

Can anyone think of a bar in NYC that would likely be watching the Battlestar Galactica premire tonight?

My cable is off at home (there's so seldom anything that I can't just download) and I really don't want to watch it at work. I would like to get a drink and join an appreciative crowd (but not at someone's house - it's been a long day and I'm not up to socializing) This town has upwardly mobile geeks, there must be somewhere that caters to this sort of vice, I've just never looked before. If they decided to watch Dr. Who first that would be a plus (although I'll have to miss the beginning).

I should have thought of it sooner, oh well. Maybe I'll just watch it at work.

I empathize. If there is such a bar, it should be the NYC meetup location from here on out.

Not a chance, Yankees are playing.

I sympathize. Bittorrent is your friend - surely by tomorrow night it will be available. (Or, if this year is like last year, you'll be able to get a legal copy on iTunes sometime early next week.) Alternatively, drive to Canada, where the first episode is premiering on Saturday night instead of Sunday. You can watch it at my house if you want.
