The Crab Pot

Directly following my trip to Peru, I left on a research trip to the West Coast for two weeks.  What was I researching?  Glad you asked: a book on Stadium Eats!  Um, yeah, without a deal in sight currently (hint, hint, anyone reading this who is interested!), I went to preemptively scout out the 6 West Coast stadiums and eat my way up and down the West Coast at the same time, starting in San Francisco, working my way down to Los Angeles, then San Diego, back up to San Francisco and then to Seattle!  Phew!  Tune in at 4:15 [...]

BB’s birthday celebration came a little early this year, and we headed off to The Met for a scavenger hunt.  While we didn’t win – coming in second place, arghhh – I did manage to score a free hunt, hooray! complete with funny story about me & my psychosis, I mean, psychicness – we did have a grand ol’ time and I’ll once again recommend Watson Adventures for great, well-organized and fun scavenger hunts. In any case, after hunting for a few hours, we scurried down to the East Village for dinner, joined by the significant others.  Per usual for [...]

Citi Field: Catch of the Day, Toscarino’s, Burgers & Fries, Mama’s of Corona

Game on!  As you may or may not know by now, I am a huge baseball fan.  HUGE.  More specifically, I’m a hugehugeHUGE Mets fan, and yes, my heart has been broken and stomped on quite a few times now… but that’s besides the point.  I fully support my team through the good times and the bad!  I’ve mentioned before that last season, as a gift to myself, I purchased the Sunday plan, which included tickets to every Sunday home game.  This season, I am the proud owner of a similar package (although they changed it a bit and instead of [...]
