Leaves

Mid October thru early November NYC is really the only place to be

THIS IS FALL. THIS IS THE BRONX

Autumn in the northeast is the best

Arthur Ave

Holiday Season in The Bronx
Sunday dinner in a place that will always feel like home.

The Holy Grail....

 In a corner, in a back room, in the heart of the Bronx

Eddies

Springtime in da Bronx

Sunday Night Baseball

 2 Sundays back I got to go to the Sunday night game against the red sox. 

Went last minute but made it in time for the start of the 2nd inning. Great game with tons of action. The crowd was super super rowdy with a lot of fights, yelling, and general mayhem going on. It was awesome. What yanks v sox games are all about. The red sox manager getting ejected in the 4th inning for arguing replay only added fuel to the fire. HAHA

This game had everything, Nova pitching a tightwire game, Beltran hitting a 2run blast, Cervelli getting hurt on the replay play at first base. Ichiro making an incredible catch in right field, etc etc.

3-2 Victory for the bombers

Da big ballpark in da Bronx always looks so rad at night. 

Bronx Bombers

 Some more shots from Saturday's April 12 day game against the red sux. 

Awesome weather and an awesome game. Yanks had 5 bombers en route to a 7-4 victory. McCann and Soriano even had back to back jacks and Kuroda got the win.

 Garlic fries, a beer, and the game....life doesn't get much better. Oh wait it does..all that PLUS the yanks putting a beating on the red sux.

 We had great seats for the game. It was nice to sit in the right field side for once.

The Captains always lurking..

 Great Hall..

Arthur Ave

 So good to be back in the heart of the Bronx on Arthur Avenue in Belmont. Forgot how busy it gets on a warm sunny Sunday afternoon (especially when the Yankees are playing the Red Sox) With Umberto's now gone we decided to eat at Dominick's. It was much more crowded than the previous time eating there but the food was EXCELLENT as always. Raviolis to die for! Chelsea got lasagne.

Like a lot of the other places on Arthur, Dominick's doesn't have a menu. They simply tell you what they are offering that day..or if its not busy at all you can tell them what you'd like to have. I did this last time and they made me a seafood linguine. Also Dominick's is a family style place(duh it's practically Italy) with long tables filling the entire room and on the walls are pictures of the old and new yankee stadiums and how the neighborhood used to be in the old days.

NOtober

First time since 2007 that I won't be in NYC during late October.

It's strange.

Very very strange.

No halloween, no costumes on the subway, no eddies, no bronx parties, no pumpkin beer, no fall foliage, no freak snowstorms, no world series, no pizza

No fun :(

Wow,,

..Its been forever since NYC..

Been thinking a lot about all my nyc adventures lately. 

So many awesome memories

Out the Window..

Bronx..

circa fall 2008

miss this..

Looking south across 191st street, out across the Belmont and towards Manhattan in the distance .  Not a care in the world..Listening to the noise of the city while watching planes fly off in the distance.  Remember this like it was just yesterday. Those were some epic times.
