Being A-Rod

TMZ's hook for this video is that A-Rod got out of a parking ticket in NYC - which in my experience is not possible after a cop starts writing you a ticket, those dirty liars - but it's also an interesting glimpse into what it's like to be a A-Rod in New York nowadays.

This is just a little snapshot into A-Rod's life, and I'm sure there aren't always weirdos with cameras recording his every move, but you've gotta believe he causes a fair commotion where ever he goes, especially as of late. That kind of attention has be tough for anyone to handle.

He's doesn't appear to be stingy about giving out autographs, which I've heard in the past. It looks like a waiter brought him a ball to sign (which are suddenly becoming a whole lot more valuable) and he obliged. Outside, he scribbled his John Hancock one of the school kids' $20 bills.

You can bet that this time last year, people weren't telling him that he was terrific. They certainly weren't wishing him good luck like the old woman at the end of the clip did. Nothing like a meaningful October in The City.

Sidenote: There are a few of Serafinas in Manhattan, and by the looks of it, I'd guess that's the one Madison Ave (I've been to the one on 55th and Broadway a couple of times). Nice Northern Italian fare at pretty reasonable prices. I'd recommend it.

Your Gastronomical Guide To The New Stadium

Can't take credit for this one, but I can certainly point you in the right direction.

Our boy HowFresh, in only two journeys to the New Yankee Stadium has compiled an exhaustive review of a ton of the culinary options. In typical H-F fashion, he has eaten way more than any of you could ever dream of and provided reviews and pictures. It's the sort of invaluable resource you need to bookmark for you first trip to the Stadium, if you are at all interested in checking out the dining options. I must warn you... Do not attempt to read it on an empty stomach.
