J Cole LIVE
Doors open at 11pm

New York City is home to thousands of Canadians. The Facebook group for Canadians in New York alone has 1,348 members! A large group of Canadians could be found spread out between the bars Van Diemens and Arctica in Murrey Hill (and the surrounding bars who welcomed the spillover crowds) watching the Canada Olympic Hockey team compete against the best hockey playing nations in the world. The friendly and contagious energy that Canadians exude could be felt all around the intersection of 28th street and 3rd avenue. The Canadian New Yorkers and native Americans alike came together one last time during the final day of the Olympics to anxiously watch the fight for Gold. With Canada scoring the first goal and USA scoring a goal during the last 60 seconds of the game to tie the game and take it to overtime, it definitely was an intense game. As Canada scored the winning goal in overtime the entire bar exploded in cheers, chants and the Canadian National Anthem. 28th and 3rd was the place to be for New York Canucks on Sunday night! Stylester extends its congratulations to Team Canada for the win and to both teams for a fantastic game.
