Default Coming Up From The Big Easy to The Big Apple

I'm flying up from New Orleans on July 28th and staying until July 30th. I planned this trip because I wanted to go to Yankee Stadium one last time before they close it at the end of the season. I'm going to be staying at the Howard Johnson on Queens Blvd. I wanted to see if any longboarders in the area wanted to go skate while I was in town. I'm not very familiar with the spots in the NYC so I was looking for people to show me around. If you want to skate just let me know. My friend Dainel M. might becoming with me also.

I'll be up in Munnsville, but maybe when I get back, I'd love to skate around.

Damnnnn, my house is about 10 blocks from that Howard Johnson hotel; you guys should definitely plan to come over to Woodside one night for a backyard cookout/BBQ when you're here; we'll take you over to the Brooklyn Banks, the Earthwing/Watchtower slide hill, and a few other spots around town. NYC is mostly a street skate city since it's pretty much flat everywhere in town, but longboarding at midnight down 42nd Street through Times Square is by far one of the most amazing experiences you'll have here. If you're into skating bowls, there are a few pretty good parks in the city (Owls Head in Brooklyn and 34th St Helipad Bowl), and the Stamford Skate Park in Connecticut is the best concrete park in the Northeast right now, but you might not have enough time. A lot of us will be coming back from the Munnsville downhill race that Monday morning but we should be back in the city by 3pm or so.

Feel free to give me a call when you're in town - 917.. 587.. 6675, and we'll get a crew of Earthwing peoples out to skate.

Cheers,
Ned

Dude that would be great. We might not be staying at that Howard Johnson because its gotten a little pricey but we'll definitely come see you anyway. I'll just give you a call when we get into town and then we can meet up.

I just looked at it on Orbitz and it's actually more expensive than the Howard Johnson. Crazyness!

It's official Daniel and I are coming to the Big Apple. We just bought our tickets tonight. We're going to be getting into town around 1:30 on the 28th and we've decided to stay at the Howard Johnson in Queens so we will definitely be down for the BBQ at Ned's house. I'm so freakin stoked to skate the NYC. I'm literally counting down the hours until we leave.

I actually checked myself and was going to recommend the Howard Johnson in Queens.

Can't wait to skate with you guys.

We're going to two games at Yankees stadium on Monday and Tuesday night. Our seats are in section 57 of the bleachers. Do you think we would have a problem bringing shortboards into the stadium?
