brad and charles take manhattan
and we certainly didn’t think we’d run into matthew lesko (the guy from tv who “TEACHES YOU HOW TO GET MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT”) while at the uniqlo store…..btw, uniqlo is a japanese brand that has recently come across to a couple of US locations and has some pretty sweet cashmere sweaters and stuff at great prices. worth checking out when you go to nyc – if you’re into that sort of thing.
coming out of the store and heading south, brad and i went down to one of my favorite nyc spots, the trinity church, downtown. here’s a flag placed in front of alexander hamilton’s grave.
that night it was off to yankee stadium (as seen from monument park)
here are brad, larry not the legend (who had been working nearby) and me at the game’s end.
that night we met up with bp (who was graciously allowing us to stay in his posh suite in times square) and were out eating sushi in midtown til well past 2.
the next morning, we had realized that the us open was in town. we didn’t have any big plans for the day, so we decided to walk over and scalp tix. anyway, ont he trip over we stopped by one of my other favorite views in nyc, st patricks from below the feet of atlas.
and then out to flushing meadows. we got center court seats and took in the number one ranked player in the world, jelena jankovic
then we saw the number 3 ranked guy (djokovic) before we headed over to the side courts to watch some of the lesser players
we then hopped a cab, hopped a plane and got home in time for a late dinner with lillis – a great two day tour.
and here are the rest of the photos from the trip.
