Baseball fan going to the Big Apple later this summer...

[T206Collector]

At least the following...

- See the Jefferson Burdick collection at the Museum of Modern Art

- See a game at Yankee Stadium, Citifield and Keyspan Park (at Coney Island)

- Eat pizza at John's on West 44th Street (off Times Square):

Get two pies at the oldest and I say best pizzeria in SoHo Lombardi's. Visit the FDNY museum -both on Spring St. Walk over the Brooklyn Bridge for drinks from the best view of the skyline. Wear quality sneakers.

Love that town, but if you want the ultimate baseball experience, save it for your Beantown trip. *duck*

Thanks for the restaurant suggestions and I forgot about the Burdick Collection. I will put the Museum of Modern Art on the schedule.

Unfortunately a trip to see the Green Monster will have to wait for another day .

Any can't miss card shops in New York?

None that I'm aware of. The "East Coast National" is August 16-19 in White Plains, which is a short train ride from Grand Central:

The Jefferson Burdick Collection is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art --- not the Museum of Modern Art --- and on "rotating exhibition" only which means that only about 5 - 10% of the collection is on display at any given time.
You will have just missed this exhibit. I do not know what has replaced it currently but you certainly cannot go wrong with a trip to the Met.

Keyspan Park is now called MCU Park. It's the home of the Brooklyn Cyclones, a minor league team in the Short-Season A classification New York - Penn League, affiliated with the New York Mets.
