Yankee Stadium Tour

We arrived with just enough time to park and grab a quick slice of pizza on 161st St. On our 1:20 PM tour of the new Yankee Stadium, Darren and I were able to get good, long visits to Monument Park, the Yankees Museum, and the visitors dugout. Unfortunately, a large group in coats and ties (who probably didn't pay $20 for a tour) were being shown around the place so we were not allowed to see the home dugout or the Yankee Clubhouse while they were in those. Still a nice tour, but disappointing not only because of what we missed, but why.

  Brief Visit to Midtown

  After the tour, we drove to rainy Queens, parked by Citi Field, and took the 7 train into Midtown for a brief visit and to meet up with Rick. We checked out Grand Central, the New York Public Library, and Bryant Park, then got sandwiches at Pret A Manger near Grand Central before taking another 7 train back to Queens.
