Orange fans will gather at Clyde's of Gallery Place, adjacent to the Verizon Center, for pre- and post-game festivities.  The restaurant will serve brunch beginning at 10 a.m., and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis - so be sure to get there early!  Beverage specials will be offered throughout the day.
