NYC Game-Day: FORUM BAR, et al.
Spreading the word for my good friend and weekly event host, Amit Kapoor (U-M, class of '03)...
If you're looking for the authentic Michigan game-day experience in Manhattan, look no further than "FORUM" on 4th Ave. between 12th and 13th Street.
$4 domestic beers, deals on well-drinks, really good pub food and a pretty dead-on recreation of the Rick's American Cafe Shark-Bowl (for $16).
The bar will be EXCLUSIVELY Michigan for the game, and will feature 4 flat screen monitors at the bar and a large projection screen for game viewing.
Only a couple short blocks from Prof. Thom's for the MGoBlog bar-hoppers.
*If any other NYC area alums/fans would like to use this space to plug their favorite game-day destinations, feel free.

Amit is an awesome guy. I've gotten to meet him twice before. He's not still with Dunkin' Donuts, is he?

For anybody who doesn't know Amit, pretty much everybody knows Amit...
Re: DD's - I really can't speak to the extent, but I know he and his family are involved with the franchise as owners/operators in at two locations in Manhattan. But as you probably know, the man's passion is in events and planning, and he's done a few fairly large-scale productions recently - an art/music fair, a cultural awareness event, and plenty others - as well as promoting Forum for Michigan game-day, which has gone extremely well.
