New York Baseball Game Trip - Operate 2


In part 1 , nosotros had great, inexpensive hot dogs; went to a Yankees game; in addition to paid our repects at the World Trade Center site.

The adjacent twenty-four hours it’s bagels for breakfast in ane lawsuit to a greater extent than every bit nosotros produce some sightseeing in addition to shopping some Manhattan inward the morning.



For that, nosotros caput downtown to the South Street Seaport, a nautically themed shopping surface area facing the East River.  It's variety of tranquillity in addition to non a lot going on.  We browse some of the stores, but frankly, at that topographic point is nix hither that y'all can't larn at whatever of a hundred other tourist spots.

Taking our leave, nosotros caput upwardly to the urban center hall amongst it's beautiful outflow in addition to gas lamps earlier heading dorsum to the hotel.

In the afternoon, it’s fourth dimension to larn laid to become to our adjacent game. We’ll live on seeing the Amazin’ Mets induce got on the San Diego Padres at Shea Stadium.


Unlike Yankee Stadium, the underground halt at Shea is non accessible. It could easily live on made accessible…the leave of absence from the elevated station includes a spiral ramp downwards to the parking lot but it stops nearly 10 feet from the dry reason amongst a laid of stairs leading the balance of the way down. Why non but proceed amongst the ramp?

This agency that nosotros induce got the educate ane halt by Shea to Flushing-Main Street where the station is accessible. Outside are dozens of jitney stops, our chore is to discovery the ane that goes dorsum to the stadium. I run into an MTA worker inward an orangish vest in addition to enquire him. He’s friendly in addition to points us to the right halt where nosotros select handgrip of a 48 jitney dorsum to Shea.

When nosotros called for tickets at the disclose listed on the Mets website, a friendly gentleman helped us out in addition to speedily sold us 3 seats rattling unopen to domicile plate. They were rattling adept seats.

Inside the stadium, however, friendliness from the employees was inward brusk supply. From the snack bar to the gift store short, rude service was the guild of the day. It was non anywhere close the nifty service nosotros got at Yankee Stadium.
The Scoreboard Sums Up the Weather

 The game itself was good. The Mets came from behind to crunch San Diego. There was a lite drizzle in addition to it was chilly during the entire game but it was never stopped. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 highlight was seeing George Thorogood sing Take Me Out to the Ballgame during the stretch standing on the dugout but a few feet away from us.

After the game, nosotros made our way dorsum to Main Street on the bus, got on the subway, in addition to made our way dorsum to the hotel.

In the morning, it was fourth dimension to checkout in addition to the doorman helped us flag downwards a van taxi. He couldn’t quite locomote a miracle to discovery a fully accessible one, but this would do. The van took us over to Penn Station where nosotros boarded a southbound Amtrak heading to Philadelphia.

Next week, it's on to Pennsylvania for to a greater extent than baseball game in addition to Amish country.  Stay tuned...
