I just got back from New York a little while ago. It was a great day. We left around 10:30, and made it to Katz’s by noon. It was the best pastrami sandwich I have ever had, and I can’t wait to get back there. I just wish it was closer. Maybe it’s better for me that it’s not. But hey, it takes me 30 minutes to get to John’s. That’s only 1 hour more. Hmmm.
After lunch we walked around the Lower East Side for little bit, but there was really nothing to do there, so we decided to head over to the stadium early. Traffic was light once again, so we got there fairly quick. I think we were there by 3. Well the game didn’t start til 7:05 so we just walked around the stadium a bunch of times. I watched some of the players come in, but that’s kinda crappy cause they don’t sign. But man, the stadium is cool. 80 years of baseball history is a lot. It’s just hilarious how small the stadium is. I always pictured this monstrous beast, but it’s small compared to the Vet. And not just in overall size; walking in the concourses is like a hallway in a building. It’s amazing how things change in 80 years. The stadium stayed the same, but the beer prices sure didn’t; $7.50 for a Becks was a little too much for my taste (as it is at any ballpark); but I survived because watching the game was just awesome. It was the first time I think I ever watched a game where I just didn’t care who won. Normally I’m at a game and the Phillies are either losing, or they’re winning, and I’m waiting for them to blow it. This was great. In the end, the Yankees won 7-6 and Rivera came in and shut it down in the 9th. It was a cool new experience, and I hope I can do it again at least one more time this summer before life ends and work begins. I’ll try to get pictures up as soon as possible, but knowing me with pictures, it could be a while.
