By Sarah Mintz, Contributing Writer      
There are seven days left to get in on the London 2012 action right here in NYC. Check out some spots on this side of the pond to watch the games and cheer on the USA! USA! USA!

Beaumarchais 409 West 13th Street nr. Ninth Ave. Get boozy during brunch at this Meatpacking staple on Saturday, August 11th when Beaumarchais will be hosting an Olympic-themed, champagne-filled "Beau Brunch", featuring drinks by Manhattan Milk.

Smithfield 215 West 28th Street nr. 7th Ave. Starting at 10:30am every day during the Olympics, the Smithfield is your place to see coverage on networks around the world. The Jameson whiskey-soaked wings and maple-glazed bacon alone are gold medal worthy, in our opinion!

Jones Wood Foundry 401 East 76th Street nr. First Ave. Transport yourself to London at this UK-inspired gastropub on the Upper East Side. Chef Jason Hicks has put together a Brit-approved menu including favorites like corned beef, potted shrimp, and bangers & mash. Cheer on your favorite medal contenders while you nibble on a meal of crispy golden fish and chips washed down with a Fuller's London Pride beer.

Kobe beef sliders, Nios

Nios 130 West 46th Street nr. Sixth Ave. Just inside the Muse Hotel in Midtown you will find Nios and an Olympic-inspired menu during this year's games. Five different bites will be offered based upon Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania including fried squid and kobe beef sliders. Just don't forget who you're rooting for after eating your way across the world! USA! USA!
