Season three of True Blood is… well, about as bloody, gory, sexy and fang-tastic as it gets. For die-hard fans, missing a new episode on Sunday night bites (no pun intended). So if you’re just dying to catch the latest episode during your visit to New York City, swing by Professor Thom’s Bar & Restaurant on 2nd Avenue and 14th Street to watch for free.

Head to the lounge on the second floor, a.k.a. “the Loft”. With a unique saloon-like atmosphere, Professor Thom’s has several high-definition TVs mounted on the walls — and don’t worry, you’ll catch every word with the restaurant’s surround-sound system. Arrive before 8:30 p.m. to score chairs because the space fills up quickly.

Order the Nachos de Tomas. You’ll get a huge tray full of chips, salsa, guacamole, sour cream and jalapeños for only $8.95

Professor Thom’s has a full bar upstairs, so if you’re a cocktail person, this is the place for you. If your drink of choice is draught beer or cider, the bar has a unique menu of fruit beers, regular beers, and draught cider for the tasting.
