Madison Square Garden And Yankee Stadium...

Depending on your background, Ellis Island is a great, interesting site. You can get a combined, or used to be able, entry for SoL and Ellis Island.
All four of my grandparents came through Ellis Island, and they are all listed on the wall. I found it very interesting. Even my wife found it really interesting, and he family came across the border, not through Ellis Island, long before my family arrived here.

 

Okay, couple more questions.
1) Is Carnegie Deli worth the time...Saw it's closing for good
2) Anybody heard of a pizza joint called Ed's near St. John's?
2) In addition to buying beer and getting credentials for Moddy and Cranberry, which one should write the gamer and which one the sidebar?

 

Cheap pizza. Between 37th and 38th on Sixth Avenue. It's good.

 

Katz's should be your deli experience if you have time for one.

 

I have tickets to tomorrow's Yankee game for me and my kids. Now that it's an old fashioned DH, the boys would love to stay for 8 hours of baseball (and we have to come early to get the drawstring knapsacks). My youngest daughter is a different story. Would they let me leave in between games and give the seats over to friends who come for game 2 and can take my other kids back? I bought them on ticketmaster and have no physical tickets.

 

The Yankees can be, um, difficult in these situations.

If you can get there early and talk to someone with any authority at the ticket office, it's possible you can work something out.

Good luck. Hope they treat you right. But if it's a single-admission doubleheader, it might be problematic.

 

Left the little one with a friend. 8 hours of bad baseball is way too much, and we had to get there on time to get the giveaway. A nice experience, and we were able to move down progressively, but feeling a bit numb.

 

Not a great day for Yankee baseball.

Glad you got to move down. They can be prickly about that, too.

If nothing else, one helluva nice day to be at the ballpark.

 

Moved once in between games to a mid level, and a second time towards the end to the field level. Park was empty, but all the ushers still said no. Spent a half inning with the kids talking to 2 guards (they were great company) and watching from outside the section before they waved us in. Got to see the Bird HR from there, so there's that.
Weather was beautiful and was a great day besides the quality of ball and too much of a good thing.
I was just there on Sunday as a birthday present with one kid for Chapman bobblehead day and the blowout. I was actually there in time for the crazy first inning (6 errors, 5 by Seattle) because he was terrified that we would miss the bobbleheads, so I made my first trip to Monument Park.

 

I think I’m going to Barclays on Friday, so bringing this up for tips in and around the other arena. Somebody elsewhere said Patsy’s Pizzeria. Is that good?
