The last time I was in New York I was able to go to my first Mets home game. This time it worked out where I can catch the first game of the Subway Series: Yankees @ Mets. My hotel this time is in the Financial District so I’m heading to Wall Street Station going uptown.

I’m transferring to the 7 train which goes to Flushing, Queens.

Now we’re starting to see the fans.

And we made it to the stadium. For timing I got in the Wall Street Station at 5:15pm  and it’s 6pm now.

That’s the Tom Seaver statue they added last year.

My second Mets home game. My second Scherzer start. I wish I had gotten to see deGrom last year. He’s a Ranger now. So is Scherzer for that matter but this game was before he was traded. 

I’m right here in the last row on the aisle.

I had to go to the upper level for the food I wanted.

‘

Last year they had a stand here with all of the local beers. Now they just have Brooklyn Lager. Coney Island has it’s own stand downstairs.

Last year I had the chicken biscuit sandwich from Jacob’s Pickles. This year I want to try the popular steak sandwich from this place.

I got a Brooklyn Lager to wash it down with.

I went back for the loaded fries.

This is the concession area up here by the cheap seats.

After eating I returned to my seat in time for the start of the game.

I stopped by the Coney Island stand for one of their Mermaid Pilsner beers.

Jerry Seinfeld threw out the first pitch.

Last year I didn’t get to see a Mets home run. Scratch that one off of the list.

That section must coordinate.

Late in the game I decided to go for ice cream. I wanted one of these bowls since last year.

And we’re heading back. The Mets lost 7-6 so nobody is in a good mood. 

I made it back to Wall Street Station.

Trinity Church.

And I made it back to the hotel at 11:30.
