We went and watched the Yankees vs. the Oakland A's last night. I'd never been to Yankee Stadium - my dad and my uncle grew up in the Bronx and went regularly. My uncle took me - we had spectacular seats five rows up between home and first. I got chills when I walked in the ballpark and looked around - you can really feel the history from 1923 of this place. It's a shame that they are tearing it down in a few years to replace it with a new ballpark - if you haven't had a chance to go to it, make sure you do before it goes away.
In the expensive seats, they actually have an automated ordering system for food. The "orders" wander around with wireless devices taking your order. The food shows up in a few minutes brought by a separate person. The company that does this is called CenterPlate - very swank.

This zoo is positively huge and the animal exhibits are very natural. You may want to get the annual pass because you could never see the whole place in one day and the pass will pay for itself in two visits. Wednesday is donation day you get in for $5 but it is definitely more crowded that day.

Want a WOW date? Wait til winter, and go to "Holiday Lights" at the Bronx Zoo. They open the zoo at night during the holiday season and decorate it with fabulous lights and a theme (last year it was Narnia). We went last year after a snow storm and it was beautiful! We rode the carousel, watched tigers and reindeer play in the snow (not together) and went to the petting zoo, reptile house and all that other cool zoo stuff. Sure, it's overrun with kids and has lots of silly holiday tunes blasting over the loud speakers, but it's also crazy romantic and sort of weird. Scored me big points.

Yankee Stadium is an experience in itself. Tickets are hard to come by, and everything from parking to food to the tickets themselves is quite lofty in price. Going to a game is classic Americana, however, so don’t be discouraged by the price. One tip: make sure to visit Monument Park before the game (you’ll have to arrive early). Watching batting practice is also a lot of fun. And using public transportation isn’t a bad idea – it can be a bit of a traffic jam leaving after the game.

NY Botanical Garden is the best place to visit in the Bronx. If I am not mistaken, it is the largest garden in the United States. There are different kinds of plants in the garden. I bring my kids there every other month. My oldest daughter loves gardening and she learned a lot about plants in this garden. I usually bring them there on Wednesday when they have free admissions. We usually spend at least 3 or 4 hours there.

They are overpaid, filled with All-Stars, and still on the verge of not making it into the post season. As of now (August 2005) this is one of the New York Yankees' worst seasons ever. They have the potential but things are just not flowing right for them. The highest paid team in the Major Leagues are not performing well, that's a big disappointment.
But with that said, they are still a great team. No matter what happens or how bad a season they might be having, I doubt any team in MLB would want to face the Yankees during the post season. The Yankees discussion could go on forever--so just know that if you're a baseball fan and in New York City, then go for a game. They are fun to watch!

Fantastic museum offering an eclectic mix of exhibitions and program. A gem far removed from the commercial art industrial complex.
Seminal exhibitions, "One Planet Under a Groove," "Urban Mythology," and "Manicurated" have set the bar at a new height. Larger museums labor to be this original and innovative.
Pros: vibe, creativity, artistic goal

Good site with useful information. They have lots of resorts for couples. I have to say their toy selection is lacking last time I saw it though.
