Intern Chick

This weekend my first visitor came, and it was my obligation to show him around and make the 4+ hour bus ride worth while (I won't mention here the run-around I was given by the hotel and EHS after they lost the paperwork I filled out for my guest to stay here).  I've only been here about three weeks, and although I did live here last year, the friends I made then aren't people I see very often, and I wasn't 21 last year, so I don't exactly know the hot spots that New York has to offer.  And herein lies my dilemma, I'm not quite a real New Yorker, but I'm definitely not a tourist.  So I had to get a little creative. On Friday night we went to the Mets game against the Braves.  I got us great seats the morning of the game and was really proud of myself that I thought of such a cool, "New York" thing to do on such short notice.  But then the skies opened up and it poured for hours on end.  We went to the game anyway, and luckily enough, our seats were not out in the open so we managed to stay dry, but after sitting there for 2 hours, the game was cancelled.  It takes about an hour each way on the 7 train...so Friday night ended up being what I like to call "a tour of the 7 line through Queens and back again."
