Yes, definitely a great decision to go the Mets game. Harvey pitched great and I got to see a walk off. The Mets are looking strong this year. I hope the Nationals don't beat them out. You should definitely catch some more games at Citi Field, I know I would. Actually thinking about buying tickets next time the Mets come down to Miami. As a matter of fact, for the first time ever the Red Sox will be playing in Citi Field. They were promoting it at the game I went to. It is late August I believe.
New York is amazing. I actually want to move out there. Everyone keeps telling me it is way too expensive. If I did move to NY, it wouldn't be Manhattan. It was definitely my favorite part of the trip, but Queens is nice, Astoria to be exact. Long Island City felt just like my neighborhood. Will never forget where I had my first pie. Made friends with the son of the owner of a place called Subway Inn. It's right on the corner when you get off the Roosevelt Island Tramway. Helped me out a lot in what to do and what not to do. I never took a cab in NY, which is something I really wanted to do for the experience. There are beautiful women everywhere you go. I love taking the subway and putting on my headphones to listen to music. Sucks at night though, but that is understandable. Loved going to museums filled with art. Plenty of parks to see how beautiful the city is. Gantry State plaza was the best one in my opinion. Times Square is overrated, I hate it. Stayed at the Bentley Hotel and it was nice, but never again. The way they run their hotel is horrible. I went to wayyyyy too many bars lol, but it was a blast. Yankees game was quite boring. I went to the game we lost 2-1 on RBIs by A-Rod and Ellsbury, but I am glad I was finally able to watch a game at Yankee Stadium. I ended my trip in Brooklyn but I was so tired, I barely did anything. I wanted to check out the Barclays center, run along the Brooklyn Bridge, etc. My body and wallet said no, lol. I stayed in an apartment in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Brooklyn probably would have been similar to LIC, Queens, so I probably didn't miss much. Only thing I hated in Brooklyn was having to catch the J train because it took forever to get to Manhattan. I went on a sailboat to get a better view of the statue of liberty, one word, RIPOFF. I would have been better off buying a ticket for a ferry to land at the statue of liberty. I also went to Coney Island and went to Luna Park. It turned out being a great decision because I had a lot of fun. NY is a blast and definitely looking forward to going again in the future. No more trips for me though. Traveling is such an expensive habit, but worth every penny. Think next year I'm going to take it easy and just go on a road trip to Tampa and watch the Sox play at the circus, a.k.a The Trop.
