The MLB 2013 All-Star Game takes place this year at Citi Field in Queens for the first time since 1964. Festivities were held all over the city including my neighborhood right near mid-town. The players stayed at the Westin Hotel (5 blocks from our front door) and the Red-Carpet parade came down 42nd Street starting at Bryant Park and ending at 3rd Ave. It was hard to believe this collection of the best players in the game was just down the street from me so I had to go out and see them as they drove through mid-town. Although we didn't splurge on tickets, it was fun to see the game's best all in one location and we will enjoy watching the game tonight. Once again I am reminded of how cool it is to live in this city!!
