Red Hook - By Way Of...

...subway, water taxi, and car service.

Dinner at Rocky's Sullivan's - a diverse restaurant/pub with a large rooftop patio, lobsters served on paper plates, and swollen oreo cakesters for dessert.

Also convienently located a block away from the one, and only, IKEA.

Someday they will construct a subway line out there (one can only hope).

It's Worth It...Question Mark

Last Friday, I realized the mice are back for their summer appearance and asked myself if this NYC experience is really worth it...?

When you can then leave and go spend Friday evening on the roof of The Met, sipping cocktails and enjoying Big Bambu, the answer is yes.

Mets vs Minn

My first Mets game at the new Citi Field in Queens.

A quick ride on the 7.

Amazing views of the field at any level.

And, a damn good burger at Shake Shack.
