Easy to find, down 3rd Ave and just off corner of 26th St. If City game is on live on ESPN America or Fox Soccer they will show game live, sometimes they are shown on delay. Just email them and ask.
You are about 10 mins in cab from Times Square/Broadway so plenty of time to get backk for show.
Have a great time and say hi from Jon & Cathy
