Spirited move yesterday, dyeing your snow fort green and filling it with Guinness. Anyway, on to your next challenge: filling out your bracket and taking in the games. All day. Here then, an hour-by-hour road map for a full day of intercollegiate competition on Thursday. And the slipper still fits...
Let’s get this out of the way first: you’re probably out of the office for a “meeting.” So you’d rather not be discovered. Enter Ivy & Coney, the divey new ode to the Upper Midwest. And look, there’s an Upper Midwest team playing a local team. And look, they open at noon starting Thursday. Fate.
By now, you’re off to an early lead in your pool. So celebrate with oysters. Starting this week (conveniently), P.J. Clarke’s debuts a half-price raw bar happy hour. And just for good measure, they’re pouring $5 Harp and Guinness. In case St. Pat’s Day passed you by.
Time for some fresh air. No, we don’t mean take your eyes off the TV. Just watch TV while outside on Jack Rose’s second-floor terrace, where they’re serving up $5 pints and punch, and half-price bites like Smoked Whiskey Wings. If the air’s too fresh, go ahead and light up a victory cigar.
You’ve attracted a following. Maybe it’s your infectious enthusiasm. Maybe it’s that North Dakota State pennant you’re waving. Anyway, big groups demand pitchers and beer. Enter Stoney’s. Both locations are turning out $9 pizzas and $12 pitchers, Thursday and Friday.
By now, you’ll probably be feeling competitive. Ready to double down on that upset pick. Yeah, bowling will work. So lace them up at Pinstripes, which does $3 beers and $5 drinks for late-night happy hour. And that can’t help but make the ball go straighter.
