PHOTOS: How Instagram Influenced New Food At Yankee Stadium

Over-the-top milkshakes, an exclusive pilsner, vegan sausage and hamburger options, fresh takes on nachos, chicken sandwiches and more. No, I’m not listing the menu of a trendy hotspot in the Meatpacking District. Those are some of the new food offerings at Yankee Stadium this season. “Ultimately, a lot of these stands are built with flexibility,… Read more »

VIDEO: 5 FAQs After Running My First NYC Marathon

Almost a week separated from crossing the finish line and I’m still wrapping my head around the fact that I ran 26.2 miles through my favorite city in the world only to learn that it’s an even better place than I originally thought. And trust me; I was already head-over-heels in love. Back in August… Read more »

Life Came At Us Yankees Fans Quick, Bro

Just two weeks ago, my new roommate and I were standing in center field for game 3 of the American League Division Series in the Bronx when Greg Bird took former-Yankee Andrew Miller deep. Yankee Stadium went ballistic. The home run broke a zero –zero tie and propelled the Yankees to a victory that night… Read more »

PHOTOS: Enjoying The Last Of Summer Before It’s Gone

I can’t believe we’re less than a month away from Pumpkin Spice Lattes and football weekends. I detest humidity and absolutely love fall (not necessarily for the PSLs though; do you know what they put in those things?) but still am taken aback at how quick summer flew by. Yes, I have no probably saying… Read more »

PHOTOS: Here’s Why I Ran A 5K And Told No One About It Until Now

It was quite appropriate that before I made my third trip back to Niagara Falls, New York in six weeks (yes that’s every-other-weekend for those keeping score at home), I ran a 5K. Of course, the reason I returned home is for my Mother’s church’s picnic, which I attend annually. The 5K, held inside Yankee… Read more »

PHOTOS: An Obligatory Not-As-Belated Birthday Note

I just realized that this post isn’t as super-belated as I initially though; I ate birthday cake about a week ago. My actual birthday was on June 6 and regardless of my Mom celebrating in late fashion with both my sister (June 14) and Uncle Dave (this past Wednesday), I still felt compelled to at… Read more »

PHOTOS: Breaking Tradition On Memorial Day Weekend

I love tradition and routine but it was time for a break from both this past weekend: for the first time in recent memory, I took Memorial Day weekend off. I remember spending Memorial Day weekend in 2010 at a Yankees game and I can’t recall how I spent the holiday in 2011. But I… Read more »

PHOTOS: Mother’s Day Weekend With Mom And The Captain

Since leaving Niagara Falls, New York for Syracuse University in 2003, I haven’t spent Mother’s Day with my Mom often. The 2007 SU commencement was on that Sunday in May and I can remember at least one other time when my Mom visited me but otherwise, I’ve been away from the family. It was mostly… Read more »

PHOTOS: Opening Day And A New Season At Yankee Stadium

So how great is this Yankees’ season going so far? Ok, let’s hope I didn’t jinx it. I had the pleasure of attending the home opener up in the Bronx last month with one of my best friends along with my sister and some of her co-workers. Then I returned to the Bronx for the… Read more »

INTERVIEW: Norman Reedus Didn’t Expect To Be On ‘The Walking Dead’ This Long

For Norman Reedus, one of the stars of “The Walking Dead,” his run on the hit AMC show has been rather unexpected. “I didn’t know I was going to be on the second episode of the first season,” Reedus revealed to me on the red carpet at The Garden Of Laughs charity event inside The… Read more »
