New York City 2025 - Part 7

Yankee Stadium
 
Thursday - May 8th 2025
 
Claudia and her dad wanted to take a morning run in Central Park and so we had to get up early to take the subway to Columbus Circle. While the two did their run around the reservoir in the middle of the park I just strolled around Central Park and took some pictures. Back at the hotel everyone got ready for the day and then we headed out to Cafe Aroma for breakfast. Afterwards we took the metro to the Bronx to visit the Yankee Stadium. For today we had booked a guided tour, but we arrived a little bit early and so we checked out the merchandise store before the tour started. Along the very informative tour we got to see the VIP areas, the museum, fan areas with bars and shops. Additionally we learnt a lot about the history of the baseball club and its stadium in the Bronx. Once the tour ended we stopped at the Hard Rock Cafe and got a drink.

After the refreshing beer it was already noon and so we decided to get something to eat. Near the stadium there was a shopping mall with a food court and so we gave it a try. We found a plant based restaurant that served southern cuisine. The food was pretty good and once we finished our lunch we were on our way back to the hotel. Claudia's parents wanted to relax in the afternoon and so Claudia and I headed out into the city alone. First we got an iced coffee at Starbucks and then we checked out the Disney Store on Times Square. We are big fans of the TV seriens Only Murders in the Building and so we wanted to see the building that doubles for the Arconia, where most of the series takes place. So we took the subway to the Upper West Side and there was the huge apartment building in front of us. We took a couple of pictures before returning to Midtown, where we stopped at the Dustrict Tap House again and got some drinks. For dinner we picked up Claudia's parents and had pizza slices at 2 Bros Pizza again. Later we stopped at the hotel bar for drinks before calling it a day and watching Friends.
