june 30, random musings
Yesterday i took the staten island ferry to staten island. it is free!, and provides a good view of the skyline (Manhattan + New Jersey), the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, as well as parts of Brooklyn. definitely highly recommended. there's a minor league baseball team in staten island, and i'll have to go check out a game there sometime this summer. not sure what else is on the island.
today i wandered around the downtown financial district. Nothing special, just lots of impressive buildings and winding streets. most streets do not run in the normal Manhattan grid geometry and intersections didnt have good street signs, so it was pretty easy to get lost down there.
also today i tried the northeast version of a hefe-weizen beer, the Erdinger Hefe-Weizen. not very good when compared to the Pacific NW versions of hefeweizens.
some pictures...
