Mad Men

The Maddest March Viewing Spots

March Madness: upon us. Your bracket’s filled out. You’ve mentally and emotionally prepared for two weeks of Clark Kellogg. The only issue is where you’ll be experiencing the Madness. So allow us to answer...

FOR FIRESIDE CHEERING

Burgers and Beer at Hudson Common

You require: Enough off-menu burgers, duck-fat fries, wings, Dom Pérignon and bottomless beer for 30 people.
You’ll receive: That... in a massive VIP hall of leather sofas with your own private flat-screen. Oh yeah, and Perks is hooking it up for you. One shining moment, indeed.

FOR COMMAND-CENTERING THE OFFICE POOL

The Boardroom at Vic & Anthony’s

You require: An alibi for the daylight hours you spend watching the field of 68.
You’ll receive: A quote-unquote conference room equipped with a projector where you’ll watch heartwarming human-interest pieces about North Carolina A&T over bone-in rib eye and dirty martinis. And, you know, have meetings.

FOR FREE-THROW PRACTICE

Near the Hoop Room at Clyde Frazier’s

You require: Nothing less than an absolute temple to the sport of basketball.
You’ll receive: The house that Walt built—hardwood memorabilia everywhere, a cognac cocktail called Swishing & Dishing and an actual free-throw room. You gotta work those wings off somehow.

FOR WHEN NO SCREEN IS LARGE ENOUGH

Anywhere near the Projector at Barn Joo

You require: A date spot where you can keep an eye on Butler-Bucknell.
You’ll receive: A wooded sexy barn with a single, massive HD projector. The Cinderella stories will unfold as you pack away Korean fried chicken wings and soju cocktails. You love when that happens.

FOR CREATIVE PASSOVER OBSERVANCE

The Bar at Kutsher’s Tribeca

You require: A mostly traditional Jewish menu put together just for the tournament.
You’ll receive: Pastrami egg rolls, matzo ball soup, duck schnitzel and Rice Krispies treats; a three-flat-screen command center behind the bar; margarita punch bowls; a convenient place to observe Passover.
