Rugby enthusiasts meet this weekend for the kick-off of the Six Nations tournament. And to see the Blues put their title back into play. Undefeated since July 2021, the XV of France is aiming for a second consecutive coronation while waiting for the World Cup, at home, this fall. Here are some addresses of restaurants and bars that will broadcast the 15 matches in New York, from Saturday February 4 to Saturday March 18 (the program at the end of the article).
In Manhattan
Felix
The French bistro in SoHo will vibrate with the men of Fabien Galthié and will broadcast the matches but only those who will start at midday “, specifies the establishment. Too bad, several matches of the Blues are at 9:15am or 10am… But to see the others, from 11:45am, Felix is the ideal place to share love of rugby and good French dishes. 340 W Broadway, (212) 431-0021.
The Winslow
The Grafton
The Hairy Lemon Pub
Also in the East Village, the Hairy Lemon has established itself, in just 5 years of existence, as the (small) Irish bar for all professional and university sports, from football to MMA, obviously including rugby. Obviously, it could be a bit hot on Saturday February 11 for Ireland-France… 28 Avenue B, (646) 869-2151.
