Seconds after the final strike in the bottom of the ninth last night at Yankee Stadium, in came the text from my great friend and pinstripes fan Kingpin. “You may now gloat.” Put it in the history books. The Mets have swept the season series from the Yankees for the first time. Ever. It may…
The thought struck when the platter of chicken tenders and fries was put in front of me. The trio behind the bar named Three Fat Guys may well have been three skinny guys until they started eating the food so well put together in the kitchen in the green bar at 3898 New Court Avenue…
There’s a new click in the world to discover what I think about movies. A couple times a week, I’ll write about the big, silver screen. I’ll give you an inkling about what you might like to see. I’ll share thoughts about what I’ve seen. Hello, syracusenewtimes.com. I’m the new movie blogger for our city’s…
I hate to use the term long-suffering and the word fan in the same sentence. There are, after all, more serious things in life that cause a lot more suffering than your squad going through a bad game. Or season. Or decade. Or lifetime. (Sorry, Cubbies.) Yeah, you all know that I’m a Mets fan.…
Cruise news. When things go bad on those massive hotels-on-the-sea, my dear wife Karen and I had a fallback position. Stuck in the ocean? Not our cruise line. No food, bathrooms plugged? Different company. Tugged back to safety? OK, change the channel, already. Do we really need to hear this? A couple of minutes ago…
What says Memorial Day Weekend in Syracuse more than an American Hockey League playoff game in the Onondaga County War Memorial? How about it, I asked my dear wife Karen as we enjoyed our Saturday afternoon. Wanna go? All joking aside, the signs pointed to yes. Good hockey and a bite in the air were…
We planted five new additions to the Bialczak Botanical Gardens this morning. OK, that’s a bit of a stretch for the oval in front and triangle in back of our Eastwood home, but my dear wife Karen and I love what we can grow on our city plot. A trip to Hafner’s Garden Center yesterday…
First off, I like it when the name fits the band. Mike Brindisi & the New York Rock. Sounds like front man Mike leads an outfit that plays some homegrown rock ‘n’ roll. That’s the way it rolls out of the Ithaca-based band’s new five-song collection, “Taste.” That title, too, fits the bill. The rock…
Two decades later, the first time I saw Rusted Root on the stage still thunders in my mind. The beat. The passion. The voices. The way all of those significant pleasures blended into quite memorable songs. After the set, I picked my jaw back up from the ground and went wandering backstage in search of…
There’s a new video out that pledges allegiance to the Syracuse Chiefs. It’s titled “Chiefsville,” and it weaves a pretty cool hip-hop mood throughout NBT Bank Stadium. You can find the video on YouTube. The stars of the show come from Syracuse hip-hop crew WoodFellas, Dan Ignacio and Danny Velez, joined by Nikki Feroni. They…
