Any East Village bars that WON'T be playing the Super Bowl on Sunday?

Because people ask us this question this time of year. (And other times too, actually.)

TV-free neighborhood bars include:

• Burp Castle, 41 E. Seventh St. between Second Avenue and Cooper Square
• The International Bar, 120 1/2 First Avenue near East Seventh Street
• Scratcher, 209 E. Fifth St. between Second Avenue and Cooper Square
• Swift Hibernian Lounge, 34 E. Fourth St. between the Bowery and Lafayette
• The Wayland, Avenue C at East Ninth Street

This is certainly not a comprehensive list. Feel free to name other TV-free neighborhood bars in the comments... (and Hookah bars don't count...)

And as the sign at The International shows, there is an anti-Super Bowl party there all-day Sunday.

    How to find intelligent men: go to a bar and chat up the one NOT staring at the screen. An Anti-Super Bowl Party will be full of them!! I used to throw one every year... my famous "Stupid Bowl Party".

    Funny story illustrating the type of men I go for:
    My ex was in a bar pretending to watch the game and noticed one of the teams was "SD". He observed to the man next to him that: "I didn't know South Dakota had a team!" And was told that it was San Diego :D

    This may sound insane but you could just ... not go to a bar at all this Sunday

    So, it's the New England Revolution vs. Seattle Supersonics, right?

    My prediction is the game will be won by a drop goal in 11 innings by the team who doesn't get a red card and would score during a 5-on-3 advantage and body checks the other team more.

    Nygrump, I'm glad your dog whistle still works. Wouldn't be the East Village without it.
