I've posted a new gallery of practice shots taken on a glorious Monday in Central Park, located a few blocks away from Chez PK.
The lead pic overlooks Wollman Rink, a shot very similar to that featured on the rink's official website. Goes to show any schnook can shoot in this town. Go take a walk and come back with some art for the walls.
A simple Yahoo! Maps link illustrates the proximity of PK.com world headquarters to Central Park.
Speaking of the Park, where I've played scores of softball games: We need a featured diamond, with seating for the tourists that abound each day. Especially the international folk unfamiliar with the game. As it is now, we have about 25 fields that are indistinguishable from each other, albeit well-manicured.
How cool would it be to have at least one with grandstands and fences, a place to go watch a quality, featured game every evening from March-November?
Today's New York Links:
• Thrillist.com — You may have seen the recent New York Post article on this free, four-times-a-week NYC guide aimed at young males whose average subscriber is "in his late 20s and earns over $100,000 a year — tons of bankers and finance people." Or, as I like to call them, guys who are still wearing suits at 1 a.m. on a Friday, looking like glossy-eyed poster boys for date rape. But don't hold that against the site, which features enough diverse tips and biting commentary to win my endorsement.
• AskANewYorker.com — a place to get expert advice on the city from people who live here. Remember, there are no stupid questions, only stupid people.
• Canstruction — Architects, engineers and contractors compete to design and build giant structures made entirely from full cans of food. At the end of the competition all of the food is donated to The Food Bank For New York City. Structures are displayed at the New York Design Center located at 200 Lexington Avenue. (Thanks, Murph)
• Village Voice's 50th Anniversary Special — A half-century of liberal viewpoint ... and hooker ads.
• A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour — A four-and-a-half-hour tour run each Monday and Friday that has gotten glowing reviews. Unfortunately, they all seem to be from AARP members. Nonetheless, I'm gonna give this one a shot.
• Police Hunt 'Fire Fake' By MetroCard — Peter Braunstein is still on the loose, and cops know he travels the subway and buses only by daylight, because of data that's transfered from his MetroCard to a computer. Did anyone else know your travel patterns can be monitored like this? Nice of him to stay in town and support the local economy, though. Dumbass.
