[Summit] Best Place to Watch Italy Euro Final?

[David Kolsky]

 I now live on Federal Hill and have great interest because I’m English. (I happened to be visiting London in 1966 and saw an England-France first round match for the FIFA Jules Rimet World Cup at the old, 1923, Empire Stadium at Wembley; needless I was thrilled to see England beat Germany 4-2 in extra time for the Cup Final on the BBC.)
Yesterday afternoon, I visited Napolitano’s Brooklyn House of Pizza at 294 Atwells Ave between De Pasquale Square and Ristorante Roma on America St. to ask if they’d be showing Sunday’s match. The owner didn’t answer me directly (perhaps they expect a big Wimbledon crowd ?), but said that his just-opened bar/cigar lounge next door was sure to show it.
Personally, I’d prefer eating pizza than to smelling others’ cigars, but that’s one possibility.
But — unless the weather is nasty enough to keep everyone indoors — there’s sure to be a huge crowd of Italy fans on the Hill that afternoon. (Plan parking or riding accordingly.) Atwells is normally closed to motor vehicles on weekend afternoons, so that restaurants can put tables out on the sidewalk and over the curb, but if the weather’s like this afternoon’s, I’m not so sure about that.
¶ Wimbledon crowding out the UEFA Cup is not the only frustration for me. Although I have little personal stake in the outcome, I’d also like to see Brazil play Argentina (in Brazil) for the CONMEBOL Copa América  final at 8 p.m. Saturday. But Unimás (Univisión; Channel 27 Worcester) isn’t showing it, and apparently you need a paid subscription to TUDN (cable) or Prenda.tv (streaming) to see it.
Wishing you (even if – shudder – you root for i Azzurri) the very best of British Luck, 
Dave

Several places on Federal Hill are sure to be airing it.
