I had a lazy morning having my own Dr Who Marathon. In the afternoon I headed over to the Manchester pub to watch Spain V Portugal. The place was just as busy as it had been for England games. I got a free beer from the girls doing an Estrella promotion. At six I headed over to Bryant park for a charity event at the south west porch bar. I paid $20 towards leukaemia research then got half price drinks. I met Sarah here as well as Eddie who I had met on the boa...

Today was much cooler than previous days which provided a pleasant change. The cooler air meant that my morning run was a lot more enjoyable. Later I took the 7 train west to Metz stadium stop. This stop not only serves to the New York Metz home ground of Citi field, but is the stop for the US Open Tennis. I walked around each stadium as best as I could. Next to the Arthur Asbee stadium is Flushing Meadows park. This park was the site of the 1964 Worlds Fair &am...

I would surmise that my trip will be quite full as well. Next I went & watched the Dictator at the Amex in Times Square. Where despite ...

We had decided to watch the match locally in Queens. For the first half we went to a family orientated bar which served food. I opted for a Guinness & a full Irish breakfast. This combination certainly filled me up. At half time, we moved to another Irish ran bar that...

After a good nights sleep we collected Vivian & Dan & headed off to the beach. Our destination was Jones Beach in Long Island. The journey itself was around 45mins. The beach is in a state park but still has a six lane highway for access. There are also numerous large parking lots so the full extent of the beach can be exploited. We parked in lot 5, & managed to find a space near the water. The sea was very cold which was very much needed after sit...
