A new era for watching TV at the Grassroots

So you know the Grassroots on St. Mark's Place had that lone TV leftover from, say, 1991 at the south end of the bar. Pretty much everything looked orange and green. And distorted. It was awesome.

However, a tipster notes that the owner installed a new 19-inch TV flatscreen TV this past Thursday...


Well, at least they still have the phone booth by the front door. (And never mind that the phone doesn't work.)

We used to play darts against their team in the late 70's/early 80's. Wouldn't surprise me if that was the same TV! lol

Thanks, Joe. I always liked the rundown TV — helped keep the annoying sports-bar masses at bay.

Seems like a small enough screen to avoid a sports-crazed scene. The old set just died, eh?
