Here's Where To Watch The 3rd Presidential Debate In NYC
Mayor de Blasio's absence shouldn't stop New Yorkers from grabbing a drink and watching the top Democrats brawl.

NEW YORK — It's time for round three. New Yorkers will gather around the city Thursday night to watch the top 10 Democratic White House hopefuls face off in the third presidential debate.
The face-off in Houston will feature a smaller crowd of candidates than the first two rounds of debates over the summer. Mayor Bill de Blasio didn't make the cut this time around — but that shouldn't stop politically inclined New Yorkers from grabbing a beer and taking in the action.
The competitiors will include former Vice President Joe Biden; Sen. Cory Booker; South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg; former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro; Sen. Kamala Harris; Sen. Amy Klobuchar; former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke; Sen. Bernie Sanders; Sen. Elizabeth Warren; and the entrepreneur Andrew Yang.
