Lots of men are wearing ties around here, today I saw a seemingly homeless man in a nice suit and tie.
I am noticing a lot of jewish people wearing yamicas
I was near a kids playground today and heard the kids talking, but they didn't seem to have the stereo-typical NY accent, I was wondering if they don't get that accent until they are older.
I went to the Mets game today. A hotdog vendor was carrying "bucket" of dogs on his head. A foul ball came flying our way and squarely hit the center of the bucket. It got the biggest standing ovation of the night.
Generally there seems to be no converstaions done on the subway, but I had the nicest talk with a 3rd grader and his dad going to the game. The boy kept asking me questions even as we walked from the subway to the stadium in the midst of huge crowds. He really enjoyed talking to me as I did with him.
I walked all around the stadium and couldn't figure out why there were no scalpers. Finally I saw a sign that said you can't scalp within 1500 feet of the stadium. So I finally walked 1500 feet from the stadium, found a scalper, then walked back just in time for the game.
It's funny to listen to New Yorkers yelling. There was a guy behind us yelling at Carlos Beltran, at one point he yelled "Come on Beltran you remember me". It made me crackup, since number 1 Carlos couldn't possibly hear him and secondly, he wouldn't possibly remember him.

I am really enjoying these reports from New York. Sounds like a lot of fun and very interesting observations. Love the photo of Mary Ann at New York Public Library.

Hi Jeff...they don't yell "Belt it, Boy" or "Stay on target"? Hope you did. I'm anxiously awaiting your next report. It is so much fun to travel along with you and MAL. msl
