One of my daughters used to live off of Houston (pronounced howsten) on West 4th street in the west village when she worked on the World Trade building till Sept 11,2001.  (edit) after reading this I want to clarify, she was going in late that day.....all is well.

Houston (pronounced howsten)

 

Yankees sure talk funny

Doubtful. But it doesn’t hurt to look.

In 1974 a Mets Double Header ticket at Shea Stadium set me back $6 and a 16-oz plastic cup of Schaefer beer cost .25 cents. Good times.

These are  $16.50 after tax. No collector cup.

For that price I hope it was served to you in the stands like mine was!

Okay looking to kill time.

 

 

 

 

This was on my list last

time as well but I didn’t get to it. It’s included in my metro so it only cost me $4 for a water from the hotdog guy.

 

 

much less crowded on the return trip.

got Video of both. Return probably is much better.

 

 

 

 

 

good

to see they aren’t using the NYSE as a billboard this time.

 

 

 

Lucky you didn't need a visit from Spidey!

I lived that memory and I also know the Reingold and Ballentine jingles! 😁

I’ll start by saying I don’t watch baseball and didn’t read the name on the screen. My first thought was “he looks awfully old to be a professional baseball player”. 😂

Looks like an awesome cruise!! Enjoy the rest of your time in NYC! Thanks for taking us all along.

My dad was a ballentine drinker. Never liked the smell or taste of beer.  Although some of today's beers are really good!

I was at UBS arena (where the Islanders play)  a couple of months ago to see Bruce Springsteen- Beers were $22 and a Margarita was $28 and that is with the 10% amex discount. Ridiculous.

And now ?  They paid 86 mill for a 40 year old and a 38 year that have losing records.   Heck they are still paying for Bobby Bonilla and Robby Cano.   By that logic the beers should be $200

Actually I take that back there is a collector cup for a 23 oz draft at the same price.

You haven’t looked at the ticket prices. And Sherzer is 5-2. Cano sucked so he was cut. We didn’t sign him to that contract, the mariners did. That was the deal that got us the best closer in baseball but yeah we had to take on a bad contract for it.

They don’t have all the local beers like they did last year. Just Brooklyn Lager..and Coney Island has a stand.

I was there during the Blue Jays series and was gutted to see that the NY Local craft beer stand was gone.

I was in Seattle a couple weeks back and checked out a game. Loved the pitch clock as the game was just over 2 hours and kept the ball moving. Plus, they had $5 beers!

I think the game last night was 3 1/2 with a pitch clock. It’s fine but if someone spends hundreds of dollars on a ticket.

maybe a thousand for a family, do they want to be in and out in 2 hours?

Yes! The longer you are there the more you will spend on food or drinks. Generally,  games as long or longer than last night become tedious to watch,  though last night was the exception. 😎
