Hey, I live up here, if I were you I'd avoid ESPN like the plague, that place will be packed and is a tourist trap, on week 1, forget it. If you are tied to midtown, on the west side there are a few bars around 48th st& 9th ave, like Scruffy Duffy's that my guess would show the game or would know people that would. If you don't mind a subway ride/cab or walk through the park, around 79th/amstedam-81 amsterdam are like 5-6 bars (blondies, brother jimmy's, gin mill, Time Out Sports Cafe) that will be a fun place to go watch. I would recommend Brother Jimmy's, now our game might not be on the big screen there, but the food is good and it is a football watching atmosphere (would also recommend college games there too). Its a southern themed bar and the food is actually pretty good, should be pretty waitresses, and a lot of people there.
