if you can't get to Belmont and are in midtown

go to the ESPN zone (no wagering allowed there though)

I agree with Andy, just go to Belmont, you can take the train straight out there from Penn Station (I believe it will run that day even if it gets cut). If you can't, the Playwright Pub on 35th Street between 5th and 6th Avenue is a pretty good spot and you can wager there. I would reserve though as I think they get a big crowd Belmont Day, particularly if a triple crown is on the line.

he's going to be there on Derby Day not Belmont Day - would you still need a reservation for that day?

Playwright is a nice spot if you want to stay in City.

Would think they will have a crowd Derby Day. Definitely would call and try to reserve a good table if you go. Certainly won't hurt.
