Where the South Africa Community Watches in NYC

South Africa's historic qualification for the Round of 32 has energized a community that wasn't expecting to be in this conversation. NYC's South African expat community is concentrated in Midtown and parts of Brooklyn. The Caribbean and African-diaspora community broadly will be backing Bafana Bafana.

• Midtown Manhattan — The Churchill, Nevada Smith's, and other international soccer bars. South African expats tend to cluster here.
• Bay Ridge, Brooklyn — Broader African and international community. Greenhouse Cafe and Salty Dog are good options.
• Harlem — Pan-African solidarity crowd will be pulling for South Africa. Local bars on 125th St and Adam Clayton Powell Blvd.
• Soccer Streets DUMBO — Free, open for all knockout matches, screens showing SoFi match June 28.
