I will be going to the Mets/Twins...may try to squeeze in a Yankee stadium tour if time permits.
Just as important as where to go...where should I avoid?
I would avoid the tourist trap resutrants in times square. They suck and are expensive. Better off eating at a small off the block type place.
I would also make sure if you want to go on the Statue of KLiberty tour, you get there crazy early.
How can you go to Citi Field and not Yankee Stadium? LOL.
We ate at the Stage Door Deli (yes pricy and way too much food) and strolled out through Times Square. My wife and daughter went into the MTV store. I stayed out on the sidewalk holding my left-overs in a Stage Door Deli yellow bag.
A guy (bum-homeless whatever)comes up and asks me for $5. I said I was tapped out, but offered him food. He said what did you have. I said brisket sandwich. He said, that's ok, I'm a vegetarian. I love New York!
