Need a Hand?
Your Next Project Starts with Brownstoner
A pretzel? More likely an atomic bomb 😉
I am not, legion. i have something to attend to here.
Brownstoner announced the closing of the Philly site.
Benson, you get the usual riff-raff, who drink too much and then act barbaric. But I really LOVE the games. To me it is like opera. I just LOVE it. (I think I have those things in common with Giuliani – love of Yankees and opera). Also, I know a wonderful Caribbean restaurant where you can get awesome jerk chicken on Girard avenue, we fill up there and don’t eat at the Stadium. The new stadium is really nice.
Legion, I will try that. It really sounds lovely. It would really make me feel good to lose that bad experience. I always loved getting out on the water.
dibs,
I thought you guys were at lunch?
bxgrl,
I picture you throwing a pretzel at an opposing team from the bleechers. 😉
yes, benson, the crowd at a Yankees game is deplorable.
dona,
that sounds like a harrowing ordeal.
I don’t blame you for being hesitant about
venturing back on a boat.
Jamaica bay is a good place to practice though,
not exposed to the open ocean, although Breezy Point
is unpredictable.
The Parks program stays in the calm areas, but there’s always a good breeze and on a nice summer evening
it’s great.
In Flusing Meadows park there’s a large lake where
you can rent a small 12 foot sail boat or just a row boat.
It’s hard to get to but fun and a unique setting with the Grand Central Parkway on one side and the Van Wyck on the other.
Bxgrl;
You would be surprised. I used to organize a trip to the Yankees once a year at my previous place of employment. I grew increasingly disgusted of the whole thing as time went by, as did many of the people who went with me.
I don’t see benson in the Bronx (let alone cheering the Yankees!). He’s still pissed the Dodgers left Brooklyn 🙂
Donatella;
And how easy is it to get those tickets? And assuming I get them, how much will the food cost me? And how about the lovely crowd at Yankee stadium? The true sport is counting how many F-bombs get thrown out per minute.
No thanks.
