Yankee Clipper

Got back from NJ yesterday afternoon. G and I had a good trip - left Melrose @ 9:30am Friday and had an uneventful trip down, at least until we hit the Major Deegan @ 12:30. The weekend exodus had started, and it took about an hour to get from the Bronx city limits to the bridge. We got to our hotel @ 2...rinsed off, changed and headed over to visit my folks. Stopped at The Mana on Tonnelle Avenue for murderburgers and fries. Headed down to Hoboken to catch the Yankee Clipper ferry to the game. I took some photos, so here goes:

We met up with my college friend Dave and his GF Jill at the stadium...we originally sat down near the LF foul pole, but eventually moved over with them about 3B. Horrible game (and weekend) for the Yanks...they lost 10-6 and we trudged back to the Harlem River for the ride back to NJ. I would definitely recommend the ferry trip - got there a half-hour before the game and enjoyed the sightseeing up and back.

Spent Saturday doing the flea market in the Giants Stadium parking lot, and getting in some pool time at the hotel. G went to a birthday party with a family friend that night and I met some college friends at the XR Bar in Soho. Had dimsum with some friends Sunday and drove back in the afternoon.
