Football Season Kick's Off

Robby's first game coaching with a college football team was last night. It was the 4th Annual Chowder Bowl where SUNY Maritime played against Mass Maritime. A few local restaurants came prior to the game and had a cook-off of Manhattan Clam Chowder, which was surprisingly really good! I had never tried Manhattan Clam Chowder before.

The game started with the Freshman in the Regimen marching on the field, the presentation of the colors and the National Anthem.

Then the guys waited to storm the field

The Regimen cheered them on:

They set up on the side line, and waited for Kick-Off.

 

"Eyes in the Sky"

They scored into the 1st Qtr! Check out the bridge and water right behind the field, it was such a great view.

Woohoo!

More of the great view!

Sorry I can't really give a play-by-play, here are some more shots from the game.

Another Score! And a Win!

Good Game, good sports.

The Team gathered in the middle of the field to celebrate!

As per tradition, when SUNY Maritime wins, they break a board with the opponents team's name on it.

The win was a great way to start off the season, keep it up!

5 Boroughs, ONE DAY

Some friends of ours here in NYC mentioned that they had the goal to see all 5 Boroughs (Manhattan, Staten Island, The Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens) all in one day. We thought that would be a lot of fun, so in July, we also attempted the One-Day Adventure. 

1^st Stop: Breakfast in Manhattan

               The place we originally planned to go to was closed, so we went to this Restaurant and had blueberry pancakes!

2^nd Stop: Snack @ Italian Bakery in the Bronx

                We arrived to Conti’s Bakery and had delicious lattes and canollis

3^rd Stop: Lunch in Staten Island

                We took the Ferry to Staten Island and ate at the Cargo Café (more of a bar scene – but it was very good) We had appetizers and beer, because we were still full from the bakery :)

4^th Stop: Ice Cream in Queens

              We walked around Flushing Meadows/ Corona Park. This is where the last scenes of MIB were filmed with the big globe fountain. And we had the best Ice Cream in NYC... 

5^th Stop: Dinner in Brooklyn

                We had dinner on the rooftop of a restaurant on 4 Berry Street in Williamsburg. There was a great sunset, and we had great views of Midtown Manhattan.

6^th Stop: Walked the Brooklyn Bridge back to Manhattan

                We loved getting to walk across the bridge, seeing the city all lit up, it was beautiful!!

7^th Stop: HOME!

                It was a long day, but a great adventure. We loved it so much that we are planning to do it again, and visit all new places. We'll keep you posted.
