Easily the best movie theater in the world, big fluffy couches and drinks hand-delivered to you. I was dreaming the SB would be shown there.
Thanks,
EmpireStateOfMind! Would be wonderful to have you there. This will be my second Super Bowl in IST, and indeed it is a fantastic place to watch football. Unfortunately, I have no idea regarding the status of the Ritz, but if that theater is indeed showing the SB, then we can absolutely change the plans. I will probably post on Saturday morning suggesting a rendezvous spot for any FT people who will be coming to this, so that we can all walk over to the bar together.
Also,
Sweet Willie, always great to have your "blessing" on one of these informal Do's. Always fun seeing you in Chicago, but perhaps we'll cross paths outside the U.S. borders sometime!
