csourk's Voyage to NYC

[cas]

Also, ESPN Zone is fun.

Will have to do that.

You can stand inline right by time square at, like, 3 pm and get half priced broadway tickets for that night's showings.  Should be able to get in for POTO imo.  Your family can take the money they save and buy me something nice!

The QB game is frickin' awesome but if you play it too long (and I recommend you do) you will barely be able to dress yourself the next morning.

I bet that is why Brett Favre's arm is sore now.

If you do anything in NYC, go to the top of the Empire State Building.  It's where King Kong was.

csourk has left SC in phase 1 of the voyage to NYC. Hopefully the Royals don't get hosed by the Yankees. I think Greinke is pitching so that is cool I guess.

[fatty fat fat]

have fun cs. roll down the window, buy a diet coke (Fountain) and enjoy the ride.

Top of the Rock is way better IMO. No waiting in line for hours.

I also recommend the tour of Yankees stadium, you'll probably have to be at the stadium by about 8 am to get a ticket, but they're only $20 and the tours are 7 days a week. They take you to the press box, monument park, out on the field, in the dugouts and into the locker rooms in about an hours time. ESPN Zone is also sweet, recommend eating on the 2nd floor (so many TVs). It's in Times Square so you can see all the other things there too.

Meh...terminal A ftw. B is international.

Subways aren't bad at all, they don't smell as of a week ago, and I don't think are too hard to navigate in, took one from Yankee stadium to Battery park (cool view), which is basically down all of the island, without a hitch. The taxis are nice but a bit too expensive if you going more than 20 blocks IMO. Grand Central is worth a look if you dont come in there and have time.

I suggest you go see TRL gazillion underage girls there

Well, after a long weekend in NYC, I can say that it was one of the best trips I have ever taken.

Highlights:

Well the flight to NYC was less than spectacular. It left late for whatever reason, and then with the storms at LaGuardia we had to basically fly around in circles for 30 minutes and then land in Newburgh, NY to refuel. So that bascially ruined any plans I had for Thursday afternoon/night.

Started Friday bright and early and went to the Sports Museum of America (just opened in the spring) pretty cool stuff, def. recommend. You can touch the Heisman and stuff. Went to Ground Zero Museum/"Workshop", it is basically a self guided tour. They have pictures of all sorts of things from 9-11 and you hit the number on the picture on the remote and you listen to the guy talk. Then we walked around Time Square. I bought this CD from some random rapper for 3 dollars and went to the ESPNZONE for like 2 hours and killed time. From there we went onto Phantom of the Opera, it was pretty cool.

Saturday we started out pretty early to go to they Yankees vs. Royals game. Got a couple of auto's and talked to a few of the players. Yankee Stadium is pretty much what I expected, a lot of history there. Enjoyed the game, although the Royals lost in 13 innings it was cool, and we got our monies worth. Went to the Top of the Rock, it really is a different perspective of things when you are up that high. We went at night so we say all the lights and whatnot.

The flight back was good, flew on Frontier (great airline). I was so tired I just slept on the plane all the way back. Annoying jap kept kicking my seat. So I just reclined even more.

As for the airports, DIA is just phenomenal. Plain and simple the nicest airport I've been to. LaGuardia is a total dump, I hear JFK is even worse. Dunkin Donuts are slowly taking over the east coast.

I'm probably leaving out something, if you have any questions say the word.

Did everybody you saw look like they were enjoying "Manhattan?"

Everybody in NYC loves the city. Like they are so enthusiastic about it is kind of weird.

[fatty fat fat]

does frontier still have those cute tv's that show where you are?

[cas]

does frontier still have those cute tv's that show where you are?

Yep. You have to pay I think like $5 for it. You also get ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, and some other pretty good channels. LSU-Auburn was on ESPNU on the way down. Being on that airplane for about 7 hours was the best money I've ever spent.

[chum1]

Frontier is really likable.  And hub at DIA?  Awesome.   Little TVs?  Cool.  But the cutest thing is getting your own f*cking animal mascot for each flight.  Those f*ckers all have cute nicknames, too.

[AzCat]

Do yourself a favor and see Les Paul at the Iridium Jazz Club tomorrow evening.  He plays every Monday and at his age he can't have many Mondays left.

[Dirty Sanchez]

Did you stay for all 13 innings of losing?

[Skydog]

Join the mile high club?

[steve dave]

Those guys are everywhere.  I got into a long conversation with one of them about how their audio quality was prolly garbage since they couldn't afford a studio selling their album for nothing.

[catdude33]

Went to the Top of the Rock

So, you basically have never seen NYC from King Kong's perspective.

will you guys make fun if I give an airline/aiport review? well, must do it n e ways.

airlines: delta >> frontier. Frontier does have the individual animal (cute) but they no longer offer a live map for free!!! Delta gave a flippin sweet live map where they zoom in real close, and if you're "aisling" it's pretty much the tits. Delta also had a "in-flight" trivia where you can play vs the other passengers and you can view their seat. Unfortunately some indian dude kept destroying, so I exited after a few games. He was a few rows away and he knew he was beating me and was loving every minute of it.

airports: atl >> dia >> sjc. btw, you can tell DIA and ATL hate each other big-time. despite the fact they are gigantic airports, and that they offer about 8 LCD's worth of arrivals alone, there is alone one flight between the two pretty much all day. I couldn't help but LOL @ that. My God guys, at least don't let it be so obvious.  pretty much every single commerical business @ ATL was run by black people, so it made for some interesting purchases. Nothing like seeing a fat white lady buying 15 bucks worth of latte's @ starbuck where tyrone makes 6 bucks an hour. DIA and ATL were very close, but I give the nod to atlanta because it's just mammoth! (big, large) San Jose is terrible. You wanted to give it a hug, but in all fairness, they are constructing a new terminal which should make for some interesting posturing by SFO and Oakland if you ask me.
