Shea Stadium (Which if you live in the area you'll know means I totally took a wrong turn off the BQE). Oh, and most of these photos were taken by Siege unless otherwise noted.

Later that night, we went for coffee and treats at Ferrara's bakery. What's cuter than Tara in her little heart sweater holding a little I heart NY cake? Farewell, my sweet little faggot! You'd better come visit soon!

...and went up to the Observation Deck. Since deciding to move back to Texas, Tara had written up a "Things To Do Before I Leave New York" list and this was right up there at the top of it. Here's the view to the south.

For lunch on Wednesday, Grant and I decided to explore some of the finer cuisine of the "Feast of San Genaro" street festival. It's the largest, and longest running (the first one was in 1926) annual celebration in NYC. It takes up all of Mulberry street for like, 10 blocks.

And here's a shot looking north up Broadway. The traffic lights were all out so people were just walking in the street. The amount of noise coming from the street was incredible.

We decided we'd meet up with Stuart and Jeannette (who live in Hoboken and were coming through the Holland Tunnel) on Canal Street. Here's the entrance of the Manhattan Bridge (two blocks from my apartment) on the walk over.

We didn't know what the fuck was going on. The WTC is like 15 blocks from where I work and I just kept thinking about how it was going to be weird to see the WTC buildings everyday with big holes in them.

We stood on the roof gawking and trying to make sense of what was happened. A few minutes later, the 2nd tower collapsed. I don't think I could speak for several minutes.

Then, the first tower collapsed. I couldn't catch my breath. We didn't know what had happened. None of us thought at the time that the plane crash could've caused the building to collapse. We assumed that whoever crashed the plane must've also planted a bomb...which really scared the shit out of us. I remember thinking "Wow. They crashed a plane to get everyone's attention, and then they blew the building up."
