Details

Welcome to Tony's Apartment & Bar

Here at Tony's Apartment & Bar we've only got 3 things on the menu: Booze, Popcorn, and Battlestar Galactica!

We've got comfortable seating for 13. But, if you're driving and have a folding chair to bring, we've got room for that too.

There will be plenty of free popcorn and non-alcoholic drinks. Alcoholic drinks will only cost you $1.00.

Pre-show festivities will include screenings of the two most recent Battlestar Galactica specials: Revealed & Phenomenon, Battlestar Galactica Trivia for Prizes! and finally, take a spin in a Colonial Viper on the computer and test your skills against ruthless Cylon Raiders.

FEE: None of course, unless you're looking for a little Ambrosia and want to "Tigh" it up. As always, everyone is encouraged to bring snacks and drink to share with everyone. Also bring a few bucks each and we can always order pizza.

How does one "jump" to this extravagant party? Well, you won't need an FTL drive, but you may have to take the Staten Island Ferry. Below are directions to plot a course:

In the Car, click below, then on "To here" and enter your address, then just follow the directions:
Google Map

On Foot:
Take the 1, 4, 5, R, or W trains to South Ferry, Bowling Green, or White Hall Street to get to the Staten Island Ferry. The Staten Island Ferry is completely free, so put away your Cubits. Take the Ferry (only 25 min.) to the Island of Staten. Once there you can walk (about 12 min.) or you can take a bus. To walk exit the Ferry Terminal and head towards Richmond Terrace. Walk left and follow Bay St. for a few blocks to Victory Blvd. Turn right at Victory and walk straight for 3 blocks. Then Victory Blvd will bare left and Corson Ave will continue straight. Continue on the sidewalk along Corson Ave for 2 blocks, then turn right onto Sherman Ave. Walk about half way up the street and we're at 95, Apt 3. Buzz the button and I'll let you in.

If you have any questions or get lost, please contact me by email or cell.

    Is anyone coming from Manhattan? I'd love to make the journey together, since I've never been to Staten Island.

    Is the Universal HD channel going to show the episodes in HD one week later than the SD version this season?

    RSVP: Yes
    At the last meeting Brad and I discussed that we would like to see the New Jersey members of the group throw a house party. A Sci-Fi party does not need to intend to cater to manhattan crowd. Gary could host his own party the same night, too. Like in Starcraft spread out and conquer.

    Gary, It's nice of you to offer that. We have 14 people who are interested, so I dont know if you can handle that. I'm STILL trying to find a venue

    I can host at my place in DUMBO, Brooklyn if you need it! We can accomodate 10 people and we have a big HDTV. :)
