We're Back NYC....Did You Miss Us?!?







Briefly...

*Chicago rocked. Lori and Bart = great hosts.

*The Mets not only took 2 of 3 from the Cubbies but the team also stayed at our hotel. S-W-E-E-T. Sightings at the Westin include David Wright, Howard Johnson, Marlon Anderson, Ramon Castro, Jorge Josa, Pedro Felicianco, Paul Loduca, Tom Glavine, Jerry Manuel, Aaron Heilman (& wife), Moises Alou, and Lastings Milledge. Not bad, huh!?!

*Chicago seemed much cleaner than NYC and locals seemed exceptionally nice. Almost too nice if you ask me.

*We saw Bulls stalwart Will Purdue checking out of our hotel. Damn, he is t-a-l-l.

*The only way to see Wrigley is from the Skybox on Sheffield. OMG. I'm rethinking my bachelor party destinations as we speak.

*While edible, Chicago-style pizza doesn't have anything on NYC-style pizza (Smiling Pizza on 7th Avenue @ 9th street in Park Slope rules!) - one shouldn't have to use a knife and fork to eat pizza, right?

*The Peninsula Hotel Bar is swanky. Men, be alert. Ladies are on the prowl. Try not to fall for the "Can you teach me something about cigars?" line. Remember how Clinton fell for it?

*Until January 1, 2008, bar (& restaurant I believe) patrons can smoke inside until their heart's content. G-A-S-P.

Too bad we didn't see Reyes. David Wright is even cuter in person.
