This was a day that Christi didn't see coming. It started with my obsession to see the Flatiron building. With it being nice out, I told Christi that we could just walk the 20 blocks south to see it. Even though it was a nice day, it was a long walk. We finally got to the Flatiron, and it was amazing to see up close.


This led to me saying, "We're only 10 blocks from Union Square, we can just walk down there." And with that, we did. Once we reached Union Square, we stopped again, and rested. After being in that city for so long, it is really nice to see some green and some trees while walking through new york.

From here, there was a t-shirt place that I wanted to visit and said once again, "It's only 15 blocks from here, we can just walk down there." With Christi being the trooper that she was, she kept following me along, we found the place, and I got a shirt. We took another stop down here as we found a place to eat a late lunch.

Now that we were into the south side of Manhattan far enough, I said, "Let's just keep going, and we'll eventually be at Ground Zero and Battery Park." Sure enough, we kept right along and made our way down to these two locations.


Our day wasn't close to being over, and just felt like it was beginning. We met up with my boss Troy and headed over to his friends house to relax before we jumped on the trains to Yankee stadium. His friend lived on 63 Wall Street (yes, that wall street). Just blocks from the New York Stock Exchange.

He had a very nice apartment, and let us go out on the terrace so we could see some more of the city. He told us that Inside Man was taped in the building right below his window and they even asked to do a shot from his apartment. After some pictures and stories about movies being produced and seeing where Tara Reid's nipple slip was at P Diddy's party. Oh wow ... the things that you can learn from talking to someone from new york.

We finally hopped on the 5 train and transferred to the 4 so that we could get to Yankee Stadium. It really isn't much to look at from the outside, but it is sure awesome once you step through the gates.

I can finally check off seeing a Yankees/Red Sox game from my to-do list. While we were sitting there, I told Christi that I could care less about who won, but that I was just more excited to see the best rivalry in baseball history. I also told her that since I didn't care who won, I just wanted to see a couple of home runs. Besides seeing Schilling and Mussina, we saw bombs from Big Papi, Lowell, Giambi, Posada and A Rod.
