In reality, the goal of visiting every Major League ballpark is just an excuse to explore a good cross section of this great country. After all, how often does one get to cities like Pittsburgh or Cleveland? I was determined to see at least a couple of non-baseball attractions in every city I visited, no matter how small or disparaged the town happened to be. I found that every city had something to offer, even if sometimes it took a little digging. These explorations, for me, were much more meaningful than the usual mindless trips to Disneyworld or Las Vegas.
While in New York City, hoof it around Midtown Manhattan and see the Empire State Building, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Times Square, and Rockefeller Center. (My first office job was across from the Chrysler Building on Lexington Avenue.) Take the subway downtown, where you can explore Wall Street, the South Street Seaport, and the World Trade Center Site before taking the walkway across the Brooklyn Bridge. All these attractions are free to enjoy from the outside, making up for the astronomical hotel prices found in the city. I leave it up to you to pick out your own museums or Broadway shows. One final tip from a photographer from New Jersey - make it over to Weehawken's Hamilton Park for the best skyline view of the city.
