Have Mets surpassed Yankees as premier team in New York? “If you just look at these two organizations, I think what a lot of Yankee fans aren’t coming to terms with or accepting is the fact that, in my opinion, as it stands right now the Mets are just a better-run organization,” Ryan said, 1:23 in player above). “It happened so drastically with the sale of the team and Steve Cohen coming in, but now you have the Mets with an owner who’s willing to spend every dollar to put a winner on the field. And you see that with the Scherzer contract, extending Lindor – who has silenced his critics as of late, he’s been unbelievable.” https://www.audacy.com/national/sports/have-mets-surpassed-yankees-as-premier-mlb-team-in-new-york?utm_source=RDC&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=RDC MLB - Baseball&utm_content=Audacy_MLB _Newsletter&mi_u=209603&mi_ecmp=Audacy_MLB _Newsletter I guess they didn't watch last night's game 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They finally have an owner who cares about winning more than the bottom line. I know what direction the Mets are going.

Now there is a concert venue on a rooftop that looks incredible. Even if you don't do the concert, Pier 17 has some great views to enjoy with a cocktail. https://www.pier17ny.com/ If you want an iconic view of Manhattan, The River Cafe in Brooklyn is very awesome! https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g60827-d482173-Reviews-The_River_Cafe-Brooklyn_New_York.html this is my first time sailing out of NYC, are there hotels close by? Usually when we go to NYC (only a few times so far), we have stayed over in NJ and ride the bus over so this will be a new experience for us. I am thinking since we are about 4 hours away we should drive in to NYC or NJ the day before we sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ceilidh1 Posted August 24, 2022 #115 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Oooh, I had forgotten about your NYC trip. Looking forward to it - when I lived in Boston, we would go to NYC once a month for the weekend. One of my fave cities - and the Staten Island ferry is awesome! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted August 24, 2022 Author #116 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) Now the orange is the rooftop bars. The navy is coffee. The green is dessert…and maroon is breakfast.

I hope you've done your research (based on this report I am guessing that you have), because there is so much good food at CitiField that it can be overwhelming. Be sure to get there early and figure out which places to hit first as lines can get long. I've missed several innings for a Shack burgers once or twice. I love the little craft beer cart near 132 that has lots of regional NY State beers available and never a long line. If you're drinking, bring ID, they card EVERYONE. I've seen some people turned away who were twice my age, and I am middle aged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJSailors Posted August 24, 2022 #121 Share Posted August 24, 2022 @bubba83 Regarding hotels nearby the cruise terminal. The terminal is on the West side of Manhattan.between 46th and 54thStreets. There is a Holiday Inn Express on West 48th St. within walking distance of the pier. We have stayed there. The rooms are small and the breakfast area can be busy with pre cruise guests. There is also a hotel ,Ink, in the area. At least it was before Covid. When looking for a hotel,consider keeping your search on the West side, 46th- 54th Streets. Of course you could stay further away as the hotels that ninjacat123 indicated in the link in their post, but that would have to include a cab,Uber or Lyft ride to the pier. Greg- Not being a Debbie Downer, but being realistic. On the NYC local news yesterday evening, a subway passenger was stabbed at a very busy station near Rockefeller Center yesterday during the day. I will reiterate to you and any first time visitors to the City. Be aware,be careful,be safe. MJ🙋🏻 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be "a doorstop" when walking. Us natives will crash into you! You'll think we're rude. We're not...we just need to get where we're going. Remember....NYers walk, and we walk fast. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah....just about all people who don't live in Manhattan don't know how to walk like a New Yorker. It's a "cars vs feet" thing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
