Andy...

Glad New York hit you as it should....in a loud and crass fashion. Though cab rides are part of the 'New York experience' (a small percentage of people own cars in Manhattan..if they do they don't see the light of day more than once a week) you should walk as much as possible or take the subway for the REAL EXPERIENCE. If your travelling with parents..then f-it...have Mom and Pops shell out the big bucks.

All we did was take cabs around because 1) driving there is pain in the arse and 2) we didn't want to deal with valet services everywhere we went. The converstaion I already posted was the most outlandish experiance I have ever had with a cabby. We stayed really close to Times Square and just walked to most places, except for downtown and Soho.

We went to dinner in the famous theatre district on 46th avenue where the restaurants are all lined up under town houses. Food was pretty good to be honest. Went to some Italian place called Besteca Fiorentina that was pretty expensive and decent thankfully, then the next day some Thai place that was the best Thai I've ever had...best type of food in the world if you ask me.

Fabi, you were right. NYC is indeed the greatest city in the world, or at least the US. I would love to find a job and a decent apartment after college in upper or Midtown Manhattan...that place is just incredible.

    Yeh NYC is a pretty walkable city. You just let your instinct guide you. In the 10 + times I've been there I must have taken the cab less than 5 times, and it was only to get back to the hotel/my friends' place late at night.

    Nick,

    is the answer to your Seinfeld trivia question George Steinbrenner ??
    Click to expand...
    I was going to say the same thing because we never actually "saw" Steinbrenner on the show. However, we did see a man that portrayed him and was, figuretivily speaking, "seen" on the screen. :undecide:

    walkable ?
    Click to expand...
    Quite. Unless your planning to get from Lower Manhattan say Battery Park to Columbia University in five minutes its actually quite 'walkable'. In addition, given that most individuals either work on Wall Street and don't really venture out even for the commute home...or others live on campus at NYU or Columbia and everything from Greenwich to Central Park is closeby in that area its extremely walk-able.

    vegas is the most walkable you just let ur bottle of beer instict's quide you and you'll have fun !
    Click to expand...
    Of course because what makes it so walkable is the 40 degree plus heat...the fact that foot traffic is so fluid and the fact that there is so many places to walk besides the Strip....:rolleyes:

    and don't forget the 'essai's' handing out escort flyers every 5 steps.

    Well, before the night of the match i found out what hotel Chelsea was staying at, the Mandarin in DC, and we decided to call the hotel up. We contacted the front desk and asked "is there a Jose Mourinho staying at the hotel?" Of course after looking the attendant said yes and I left a message saying I was Freddy Adu's agent and gave my cell number. Burke called and asked if there was a Joe Cole staying at the hotel, and after first replying no the attendant said "oh yes we have both a Joe and Charlton Cole staying at the hotel. Burke was patched through to Joe Cole's room and left a very threatening message..."If you touch Freddy Adu, I will slit your throat" among other things about catching him in bed with Glen Johnson.

    After the match we found where the Chelsea bus was located and were one of the first to stand around the gates protecting the bus. First Carlo Cudicini came out of the locker room and was nice enough to sign autographs. Both Burke and I got his. Then Didier Drogba came out to sign, then Gudjohnson and SWP, and finally we saw Joe Cole walk up. While Joey was signing autographs, Burke yelled out "Hey Joe, did you receive a threatening voice mail last night?" Just as Burke ended his question Joey looked over right at him and quickly said "was that you mate?" Burke replied with a smile "I don't know, was it?" and then Joey walked up to both of us. I got his signature and shook his hand, Burke was seemingly afraid and only shook his hand. But to think they actually received our messages is just crucial. :D

    Then the big two Lampard and Terry walked up and we got their autographs and shook there hands. I said good luck to both of them unless they face Juventus.

    Kinda funny that a Juventus and a Bayern supporter were hoarding all the signatures instead of the Chelsea fans behind us, but oh well. :D

    Piss balloon would have been nice for Mourinho though
