We’re cruising through March Radness, so we’re on to Round 2. We’ve narrowed the field down in the Outerborough and Gotham Regions, so let’s take a look at the matchups.

First, it’s a transportation battle: The L Train vs. LaGuardia Airport. I don’t know what I hate more in this matchup. The L Train is the defending champ, and it is marginally more reliable than trying to take a 2pm flight from LaGuardia to Chicago.

Next, the battle of obnoxious things. Dogs in Bars was the underdog in its matchup with Babies in Bars, but came out on top. Long Island City just squeaked by Red Hook in the first round. Dogs in Bars make me sneeze in my beer, but in Long Island City, you’ll be lucky if you find any beer. Or anything at all, really.

See how timely March Radness is? Union Square, the #1 seed in the Gotham region may have won its battle against Times Square, but it is no match for fencing, hardhats, and shovels. Then again, fencing, hardhats, and shovels are also no match for Slow Pedestrians, who will stop dead in their tracks to peer into the work area to see what’s going on.

In the second game in the Gotham Region, it’s a battle of things that are deadly. $10 Beers are deadly to your wallet, which will cry when you can’t buy a round of beer for you and your friend with a twenty-dollar bill. Unless you don’t tip. And honestly, if you find yourself at a bar where they charge $10 for a beer, why tip? You’re probably not going to find yourself back there again anytime soon. High-Rise Cranes are deadly to you, and, perhaps, Donald Trump’s wallet. This is a toss-up.

Pull your levers below. We’ll be back with the other half of Round 2 tomorrow.
