You know you are in New York when....

[taylweaver]

... you go to a baseball game and there is a kosher hot dog stand
... it seems perfectly normal to spend $4.50 for the aforementioned kosher hot dog ($2.50 for a bag of chips, on the other hand...)
... the pre-game entertainment is provided by a chorus from a Jewish high school
... the principal of the aforementioned Jewish high school throws the opening pitch

Yeah, so I went to go to a Mets game last night. Apparently, they won, but I missed that part, since I needed to leave after the sixth inning to get home in time to get a good night's sleep (it didn't work. Still exhausted. Oh well.)

I didn't know people were going until I got a phone message at work from flintknappy, and I didn't know I was going until everyone else was running late and I was able to make it to the meeting place - and decided to ride the train with everyone (yay unlimited metrocard) just to hang out with the people who were going: daphster, flintknappy, and hampsblog. It wasn't until we got there that I actually decided to go to the game.

Anyway, it was fun, so a huge thanks to daphster for thinking of it. This is my first time going to a major league baseball game in NYC - rather impressive when one considers I grew up in NJ, where we didn't have our own teams, so the NY teams were "ours" also.

Ha ha. Yeah, I love New York/Jewville too. Was a lot of fun wasn't it? And the game was good and suspensful (don't worry, you didn't miss much, you were there for the best parts). It's funny how you can live next to a place for all your life and not make use of it. I was driven to an NY baseball game years ago, but I never went there on the subway on my own before. Heck, I'm exploring more of New York now that I'm living in DC than I did when I lived in teaneck.

you know, in camden yards (oriole park), they have kosher hot dog stands at the same price. so you can't say that's a new york thing. :)
