In honor of the Phillies winning the World Series...

Philadelphia Phillies

I was fortunate enough to go to the World Series game last nite. Being a philly fan since I was 1 day old, I have been waiting 25 years for Monday nite. Mitch Williams "ruined" my life at that time in 1993 but I'm looking for some redemption tonite. The fans were incredible last nite, you would of thought they already won the World Series. As a philly fan we are confident tonite but also as a philly fan we expect the worse to happen. We will see. I might name my first kid Cole if he does it tonite! (hope the wife doesn't mind) There were so many great posters last nite I couldn't catch them all... If your a philly fan enjoy and if not, well hopefully you will still enjoy.

NYC from the perspective of Long Island City

 

 

 

Long Island City Walk

Saturday, we explored Long Island City. Having never been except through the 5 boro bike tour I had no idea where to go or what to expect. It took a little before we found our way but then we came across a cute coffee shop on Vernon around 47th and made our way to the waterfront. We found some huge hi-rises and incredible views of manhattan. We also had a great lunch at lounge 47 on Vernon. After walking around we walked over the Pulaski Bridge to Greenpoint and over to Williamsburg. You get a great view of the midtown tunnel entrance on the walk. I don't even think most people knew they could even walk over the bridge. Its an interesting walk that I would recommend to see the two different area's. Overall it was a great walk and one I had been longing to do.

Atlantic Avenue Street Festival

This weekend was the annual Atlantic Antic Street Festival on Atlantic Avenue. I have never been but I heard good things. Well, we were not disappointed. This is definately the best street festival in NYC. The food was delicious, the vendors were not the same sock, sunglasses guys you see at all of them. Sahadi's was out there selling their great food, all the desert places were out there and lets just say you couldn't go ten feet without a kids t-shirt stand. Not having kids, I felt a little out of place but it was a blast. If you haven't been, don't miss out next year. After all the food we ate, we even managed to get in a 4.5mile walk...

 

 

 

This little girl was manning the cash register when we walked by, she couldn't be more than ten yet between the register and her facial expressions I could of sworn she was over 20.
