New York City- Bagels, Baseball, and Biggie
Steve
Spent the weekend with my 8 year old son in New York City, and have had a really excellent time sightseeing, hitting the American Museum of Natural History, eating some NYC classics like bagels, pizza, and Junior's Cheesecake.
Topping off the weekend was a trip to Citi Field to see the Mets square off against the Reds. Since the Mets old ballpark Shea Stadium was such a dump, I decided to wait until Citi was open to make a trip here for a game with my son.
Big props and thanks to Robert Hans, RHHR on Twitter, who hooked my up with the Mets tickets, thanks again.
We had an awesome time, saw some fantastic things, but for some reason this Notorious B.I.G. action figure stood out to me. Only in NYC can you drop $40 for the
chance to have a Biggie figure on your shelf.
Regular HR Technology programming to resume later this week.

Hi Steve,
Glad you boys had a great weekend in NYC. What caught my attention was your mention of Junior's Cheesecake. I've never had the pleasure of going there BUT saw an awesome episode of Throwdown With Bobby Flay where he went to Junior's for a challenge. They showed the Devil's Food Cheesecake. I immediately got online at Junior's site, looked at the recipe, ran to the grocery store, came home, and made the best cheesecake of my life. It was awesome. I can only imagine what the real version must taste like, but with their great recipes, it was pretty good. :-)

Trish - thanks for the comments, yes the 'real thing' was pretty awesome. I saw that same episode of Throwdown that you mentioned, until just now I forgot that it was Junior's that he competed with. NYC was fun, and I know from your Tweets you had a great time in Chicago. So it worked out well for us both. Thanks again for reading and sharing.
