Little B in the Big Apple

Although Little B won't remember, we had quite the weekend in NYC. It was a really fun trip...and I was very impressed on how we held up (and by "we" I mean me [a.k.a. the host organism]and Little B). I'm equally impressd with how great everyone around us was. We didn't overdo it, but we had a lot of fun. Everyone was just great. We ate a yummy places, saw great sights and then everyone was cool with me spending "late night" at the apartment while they did NYC's nightlife justice. And every night, they promised to have a beverage for me. As for me & Little B, the beverage of choice was Ginger Ale.

We went all over Manhattan....literally walked 7 of the 14 mile length of the happening NY island...all the way from 42nd down past Little Italy....passing the cloud-encrusted Empire State Building (it was a bit foggy), thru NYU, past China Town (where we resisted the urge to purchase designer knockoffs). We had some friends with us, one of whom got to see NYC for the first time. It was a whole lotta fun. Over the 3 days, we had a plethora (like my big word of the day?) of cuisines: Italian, Thai, & Mexican....and of course, deli & bagel-fare too...can't go to the big apple without getting a bite of that stuff.

On Saturday, we went to see Yankee Stadium in its final season-- that was cool. I'm proud to say that the new stadium definitely has classical roots, which is encouraging for a newer stadium. Not don't worry about the prospects of our child becoming a Yankees fan....that's not something we're going to encourage in the least. In the NL, they'll be very exposed to the Reds and in the AL, they'll be around family that cheers for the Orioles. Even Danny is a Mets fan. So, no Yankee roots are being planted anywhere...promise. Just wanted to see a stadium with the history that Yankee Stadium has before it goes away.
