Where to Watch a Semifinal in New York
Sports bars across all five boroughs will be at capacity. Reserve a table if your bar takes reservations — or plan a home watch with a guest list capped at the size of your couch.
Cannabis Pacing for the Semis
Start light — semis can go 120 minutes and into penalties. Sativa for build-up coverage, hybrid for the match, indica for the trophy-final lookahead conversations that follow.
Preparing for the Final
If your team makes it, the next 4–5 days are about pacing yourself. Don't peak in cannabis tolerance before the most important match of the tournament. Take a low-consumption day or two before the final.
