MadParkNews.com, covering New York City's Madison Square Park & Flatiron

There is a new and very large sports bar in the Flatiron called Bounce Sporting Club (55 West 21st Street between 5th and 6th Avenue). It opened last week and features 4000 square feet of space to watch 30 HD TVs for game watching. They also have a full bar with drinks from mixologist Charlotte Voisey, and restaurant menu with gourmet burgers, sliders, wings, and more.

It was also immediately named top sports bar in New York City by Haute Living. Not a bad first week!

We haven’t been there yet for a game, but will check it out soon. Give them a call at 212-776-1997 to see if your game is on.

For those who follow this stuff, the NY Post reports that newly married Kim Kardashian and her husband NBA player Kris Humphries will move into the Gansevoort Park Avenue Hotel (420 Park Avenue South between 28th and 29th Street).

She will be staying there while filming this season of Kourtney & Kim Take New York, the reality show on E!
