New York City Day 3

Today was a very good day. The Yankees won! Yaaaaay!

We also had a very successful morning trip to Riverside Park. Karen wanted to go see one of the locations from a favorite movie of hers, You've Got Mail. Below is a picture of me in the park, they had a baseball diamond there too.


Then we went to midtown for lunch at one of my favorite restaurants in the world, The Blue Smoke:


That's right. Awesome bbq ribs in Manhattan.

Sunset at the Stadium:


Me at the Stadium, the Yanks have won, the night is over. We're saying our goodbyes. I have many fond memories of the Stadium, with friends, and my sister Karen.


I'll post links to the quicktime movies I shot next week, when Karen brings me a cd with the files.

NYC Day 2, surviving Central Park

Here is Karen in Central Park!

Okay so we spent 2 hours this morning after breakfast looking for an Aveda Spa, which, if I'm not mistaken, can be found in each and every major city in the world, including the two cities Karen and I live in. We spent most of this 2 hours walking on Broadway, when we should have been walking on WEST Broadway.

Yes. WEST. BROAD. WAY.

Why they felt the need to name two streets the same, I will never know.

We did however FINALLY get to Aveda Spa, only to find out that it was closed until the afternoon due to training courses.

Right. SO... we Gugenhiemed. 8 )


Then we ate lunch, then we went and stood near the Brooklyn Bridge, but didn't get to go on a cruise to see the waterfalls because... wait for it... waaaaait... the cruise times have been cut in half because of complaints from the neighbors. No kidding. Apparently the hordes of tourists were trampling things(small children, flowers, etc). So, we missed one of the main things we wanted to see.

HOWEVER... tonight we will see history made, when Derek Jeter becomes the all time Yankee hits leader, passing none other than Henry "Lou" Gherig. Pics from the game posted tonight, or tomorrow morning.

P.S. I'll post pix and video from the game tonight tomorrow.

Greetings from the Big Apple. My sister Karen and I are in New York for our last visit to The House That Ruth Built. Tonight we are watching the game in on tv our luxurious hotel room at the Millenium Hilton, right across the street from the World Trade Center. Tomorrow night, and Wednesday night we'll be at the games, cheering on the Yankees.
