New York Day 3

Again, out and about in NYC. Spent most of the morning walking around Manhattan, and went to the Empire State Building to try to get to the observatory deck. Unfortunately, due to the enormous line, I didn't make it up there, as I had to leave to catch the train to The Bronx to go watch a Yankee game at 2 pm

This game was the first of 2 in the same day, Yankees vs. Mets, Subway Series 2008. The first game they were playing at Yankee Stadium, the second at Shea Stadium later that night.

I managed to get a seat behind home plate and off to the side of the fist base line, not bad seats at all. There is construction everywhere around Yankee Stadium right now, as they are building the new Yankee Stadium right next to the current one; it's scheduled to open in 2009.

The game itself was good, turned out to be a blowout for the Mets. I was surprised at how small Yankee Stadium actually is. You can see that they do actually need a new stadium, the halls outside the playing area where they sell food area amazingly tiny and cramped. This game was the 42nd last game to be played there.

At night I wandered around again, heading down to Times Square at night to look around. Everything is busy all the time, I cant get over that. Cant find a moment to yourself anywhere. The only thing I really have left on my list is to see the Statue of Liberty, then I will have covered everything I want to do in NYC, but that is for tomorrow...
