Takin' A Bite...

...outta the Big Apple.

Went to NYC to see the Jays (get whupped by the Yankees) at New Yankee Stadium.

Great park, but nothing wrong with the old Skydome, in my books.

Seats right behind home plate there are $2,500! We weren't behind home plate.

But lots of history, even a new building. They are tearing down old Yankee Stadium, just across the street.

And some pretty phenomenal old buildings, that the Americans have done a great job of retaining.





Above are a couple of shots from Little Little Italy, up in the Bronx. (Little Italy is down in Soho somewhere.]

I always thought the Bronx was an old, burnt out, crime ridden neighbourhood. But they have done an excellent job of cleaning up all parts of the city.

And if you are going with the locals, they know the good spots.

great shots, Jim. One could spend a lot of time in NY if one had a lot of dough.

Ironically, that's why I had to leave - no more dough.

I agree - great shots. You are one lucky dog.
