Quick Hits: "Pinstripes in the Park"; Rocket Agrees to Contract

2005_05_bryantparkdozer.jpg - For those that like the Yankees (or Tigers for that matter), the Yankees-Tigers tonight will be televised at Bryant Park, in what they are dubbing "Pinstripes in the Park". In addition to the game, former Yankees Goose Gossage and Graig Nettles will be on hand, there will be drawings for free airplane trips, and first 2000 fans will receive a free blanket. "Gates" open at 5:30 and the game starts at 7:05. Unfortunately, no alcohol allowed, but they will be selling "ballpark food".

- As we mentioned yesterday, Roger Clemens is re-joining the Houston Astros. Clemens and the Astros agreed to a $22,000,022 contract when the 43 year-old former Yankee makes the Astros roster. Assuming he joins the Astros in late June, the prorated contract would be worth about $12 million.

I was there during lunch and it looked like they were going to sell beer since they had a booth set up with a last call sign and at the gates to get to the booth, there was a sign saying over 21 only.

Can someone explain, how they can sell beer in Bryant Park. I thought that no alchohol is permitted in NYC parks?

it's easy. Bryant Park grill applies for a park liquor license. You are allowed to only imbibe within the designated eating premises. Shake Shack has this too.
