YAM (Yet Another Mave$ave) - Wonderful World Cup Watching!!! A Fantastic FREE Father's Day Festivity

YAM (Yet Another Mave$ave)  - Wonderful World Cup Watching!!!

Whether you're a major football (or soccer) fan or just a general sports lover like yours truly, it can be fun to gather with friends to view an international sporting event like the World Cup!  I can tell you that when the World Cup was hosted by South Africa just four years ago, my kids and I enjoyed going to see a match at the Paley Center with friends.  It was a real blast!  Let me say that when they say Big Screen, it really is one!  Unlike the "big screens" in many bars, this big screen is more like a movie theater Big Screen than the flat screen you probably have in your living room! 

Because, as they mention in their description below, this isn't a bar, you have a nice, family friendly environment for your kids and no requirement to buy a certain amount of beer in order to view the games! 

This is why this could be a Father's Day Football Festivity.  To see the schedule for tomorrow just look here . . .

Sun 6/15 11:30 am Switzerland vs. Ecuador 2:30 pm France vs. Honduras 5:30 pm Argentina vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina

The Paley Center is located between 5th and 6th Avenues on 52nd Street in the Museum of Television and Radio.  Before and after your viewing, you're in a great part of town!  For more info about the World Cup and this viewing, see below.  Happy Father's Day!!
