Just asking.. Gonna be in NY (Times square) early June. Anyone know of any good boxing bars? Found one called Jimmy's corner that looks good.
I really enjoyed Jimmy's Corner Bar while in New York for the Cotto-Margarito fight.Remember,Jimmy's take CASH only and drinks are $3 a pop.Great atmosphere and easy to get tn 44th just a block west of Times Square. The puck and wings,on 32nd (next to the Gardens) is also a must on fight night.Drop in for a few before the fights.:thumbsup
Cheers lads, I'm there with the wife and kids for a week, got one night to do my own thing. Jimmy's corner is favourite at the moment.
Here's the joint man ... http://maps.google.com/maps/place?c...e177fe62,New+York,+NY&cid=6022084005912502308 The place is one of the oldest bars in NYC, has an amazing collection of old fight photos all over the place and on Thursday - Sat nights the bartender is Bob Bozic, former heavyweight fighter, best buddie and sparring partner for Chuvalo and Bonavena and a guy that fought Larry Holmes in MSG.
