-An authentic New England Clam bake for four including lobsters, steamers, shrimp and clam chowder from Yankee Lobster;Wow, Boston certainly wants to kill New York with food. Mayor Bloomberg spoke with authority when announcing the NY side of the wager:
- One case (10 lbs.) of Pearl Country Club ΒΌ lb. all beef natural casing frankfurters;
- One "You're a real winner" bouquet of balloons from Geneva Balloons;
- One case of Harpoon IPA;
- A case of Sam Adams Boston Lager;
- One case of Lobster Ravioli from Serino's in Hyde Park;
- "Congratulations, watch out next time" marble cake with white butter cream icing decorated with grey and blue pin stripes and Yankees logo from Dutchmaid Bakery in Dorchester;
- One case of coffee cake featuring red white and blue Patriot Coffee Cake from My Grandma's Coffee Cake in Hyde Park;
- Boston Cream Pie, the official dessert of the State of Massachusetts, from the Omni Parker House Hotel, where it was invented;
- Reverse the Curse Cookies from the Dancing Deer Baking Company in Roxbury;
- Two pounds of homemade milk chocolate baseballs from Phillips Candy in Dorchester;
- Two gallons of Boston homemade creamy ice cream from Ron's Ice Cream in Hyde Park;
A dozen Boston Pretzels baked at the Boston Pretzel Bakery in Jamaica Plain. And Homemade angel hair pasta dinner fine linguini noodle served in "RED SOX" clam sauce from Spinelli's in East Boston.
Ahh, the rites of fall - leaves changing, the Yankees in the World Series and New Yorkers noshing on great Boston food courtesy of the Red Sox. The people at the Bowery Mission really enjoyed your clambake last year, and we look forward to the best Beantown has to offer again this year. Here are some New York delicacies from Katz's Delicatessen to get your mouth watering: two pounds each of pastrami, corned beef and brisket (I know how much Mayor Menino enjoys a good brisket), a dozen knishes, three loaves of jumbo seedless rye bread, two pounds of mustard and a bucket of sour pickles to go with your sour grapes. And for dessert, a couple of cheesecakes from world famous Juniors Restaurant in Brooklyn. But don't get your hopes up, the boys in the Bronx will make sure you never taste this food.Gothamist must say, while the offering sounds good, it's pretty meager compared with the cornucopia Boston is offering. We liked how last year's wager included foods from each borough; Gothamist think the Mayor's aide in charge of the wager was pre-occupied.
The press release here. And the Yankees beat the Red Sox last night; Game 2 is tonight on Fox.

sour pickles to go with sour grapes. that's a great line.
actually, massachusetts is a commonwealth, not a state. just saying.
i know i should, but i don't care who wins. haven't lived in boston long enough to find the fanaticism, very drunk college brats, and "curse" charming. and it's been 3 years. just give me good baseball. who needs this nonsense?
Boston's mayor is pretty savvy. He knows the Red Sox won't win, but he's using the bet to generate publicity for MA businesses. Just reading that list made my mouth water.
Good game, though I can't believe the Yanks almost blew an 8-0 lead.
But here's a question that's been bothering me. Do the Yankees have some sort of dress code? All of them are clean shaven, no unruly hair and two-day stubble. Gordon has a mustache, but even that was nice and trim. It really stood out because by comparison the Sox are a hairy bunch, lots of crazy hair and beards -- Ramirez and Damon, for example.
Yes, Stienbrenner sets the code- no facial hair etc. Has been a right of passage for many a player- get signed and get a haircut.
Yes, the Yankees represent the Empire with Steinbrenner, aka The Emperor, manning the helm and Joe "Darth Vader" Torre carrying out the orders. And tonight, Torre will beseech Pedro (Luke) to join the Dark Side. And lucky for you, I have a snippet of how that conversation will go:
Torre: "If you only knew the power of the Dark Side. Do you know who's your Daddy?"
Pedro: "No."
Torre: "I AM your Daddy."
Pedro: "No. That's not true. That's impossible."
Torre: "Search your feelings you know it's true. Who's your Daddy?...I am your Daddy!"
Pedro: "Nooooo!!!!!!!!"
those dancing deer cookies are wicked good.
and are those three lovely NY ladies in the corner holding a sign calling the red sox "the idiots"? i'm just saying....nice fans.
Hehe, I got a kick out of this: Alien Loves Predator... and the Yankees...
D'oh... got the link wrong. Here's the right one: Alien Loves Predator...
b,
A group of Red Sox (led by Kevin Millar, I believe) stated recently that they refer to themselves as the idiots. I guess it's this year's version of "Cowboy Up." The Yankee fans pictured above are merely agreeing that the nickname is indeed appropriate.
For what it's worth, Sam Adams "Boston" Lager is made in Pittsburgh by the Pittsburgh Brewing Co.
mm,
i am aware that a group of red sox call themselves that. i am merely suggesting that holding a sign calling the other team idiots, self-given nickname or not, is not at all what watching a baseball game is about.
however, they are yankee fans, and god i really can't expect them to know any better.
