And the answer to my "where to watch Trinidad" question?
Sugarcane Restaurant
Trinidad and Tobago's inclusion in the games means this fine pan-Caribbean restaurant will open its bar—though not its taps—at 10am to accommodate the fans. Stay for the shark sandwiches (and alcohol) at lunchtime.
• 238 Flatbush Ave between Bergen St and Sixth Ave, Park Slope (718-230-3954)
Trinidad & Tobago: Mangoville
187-30 Jamaica Ave, at Hollis, Queens; 718.468.4100
The official home of T&T's American boosters -- the Cup's most optimistic fans, as not since Cool Runnings has a Caribbean squad been given worse odds to win.
