I gathered from the pats paraphenalia at skinny's that it was a pats heavy zone but do you know if they have several games on different tvs? or if they are accomadating for game requests? The saints play the first game and the pats play the second game that sunday so maybe that will help my chances! Also the saints play the giants so maybe if there is a a new york contigent we can garner enough support to get the game on!

We've been to Skinny Leg's during NFL Sunday and there have been different games on. Both times we were there the NY Giants were on. (Yes Giants fan)

I think being they are playing a NY team you should be in luck with seeing the game.

Don't know about football, but we watched the college world series at crazy crackers, so I would think they would have some sorta NFL games on. There are TV's both upstairs and downstairs.

I'm not sure if any of those places have the NFL Package which you might need if it isn't a national game. The Giants may help your cause as far as that goes. I think Captains Cabin would be the best bet, I think they do have some sort of plan but I would check early in the week and ask places if they have the NFL Ticket.

I remember last year walking by a "locals only" sort of establishment in Cruz Bay closer to the Customs buliding that had about 10 tv's in the main room. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the place though. They had a bunch of NY Jets stuff hanging up and it seemed so bizarre.

Quiet Mon is always a great place to catch a game. If worse comes to worse, you may have to head over to Red Hook and watch it at Molly Malones.

Thanks for all the help guys!!! You have given me some good starting points... I think the best option is to wait until right before the trip and make some calls around to all of your suggestions to see whats what... many thanks!!!

Pastory Gardens is now closed. The property has been abandoned by the owner and was or is to be auctioned off soon.

Some more ideas for NFL. Banana Deck, Larry's Landing, The Tap Room, Island Blues, and as someone else said try Skinny's. Each place has a TV and/or satellite.
