Default college basketball &cab fare

I am staying at the Coral Hamaca in Boca Chica the first week in April. Does anyone know if the Final Four of college basketball on CBS is televised in the D.R.?

Also, how much is cab fare from the Santo Domingo airport to the hotel?

Thanks for your help!

Chuck,

You're in luck. Head to Darren's Portifino's bar/resturant on Calle Duarte (just around the corner from the Hamaca). They have satellite TV there and I watched all the NFL playoffs there in January. Jason (the bartender) can even give you info on how to place a bet with the local book if you're so inclined. Great food/drinks/atmosphere, you won't be dissapointed! Tell em' Tim the scientist told you about it and that I'll see 'em April 5th-12th. Go TERPS!!!

Tim,
Thanks a ton for the info! I'm a Michigan State fan and personally want no part of playing Maryland - they are looking TOUGH! Thanks again and I'll tell Jason you said hi.

Chuck,

Maybe you'll get treated to a Mich. State - Maryland final while you're down there! Oh, by the way, cab fare is 250 pesos (about $15) from the airport to Boca Chica. Its usually a good idea to agree on the price before getting in the cab. Have a blast in Boca Chica!
