I'm in NYC now. Does anyone know of bars here where they typically show all the Duke games? I guess I'm looking for any bar with a solid Duke crowd or at least the games on and good food.

Any of the "Brother Jimmys" will work; one on the upper east (maybe the 90s?) on on the upper west (75th and amsterdam?) and another someplace else... if you do a search you'll find it.

However, call; even tho they are supposed to be a North Carolina bar, they are still half-assed sometimes about getting games on.

Brother Jimmy has a number of locations. 80th and Amsterdam (not 75) on on 31st and 8th and the one on the upper east side (I'm a west sider so I couldn't tell you where) They've always got college basketball on and make a decent bbq.

If you're looking for excellent bbq and are willing to take a trip, Dinosaur BBQ at 125 and Riverside is amazing, and if you sit at the bar they'll probably turn a tv to the game for you.

Blondies at 75th and Broadway makes a good wing and has like 50 TVs. I think wednesdays are all you can eat specials...

As far as "Duke" Bars go. They don't really exist. Theres a "Hoops Watch" from Duke Club NY on Saturday at the Village Pourhouse, but without a scheduled event, I'm not sure that there are that many places where people go to watch games Duke games en masse.

Don't get to NYC very often, but does Art Heyman still have his place Tracy J's? Used to get a lot of Duke people.

Unfortunately Tracy J's is no more. Found out last weekend when I was bar hopping in NYC. It's a shame because aside from serving as an unofficial Duke bar in NY, Art Heyman was often there and is a pretty good guy when you get to talk with him.

If Tracy J's is closed, what's Artie doing now?
