“When you win in New York, they do it right“, says Yankee right fielder Nick Swisher. They’re certainly doing it right today in Lower Manhattan, where Jay-Z, Yogi Berra, Rudolph Giuliani, David Paterson, and an estimated one million Yankee fans are celebrating the Yankee World Series victory. Tons of parents have taken their kids out of school, workers have called in sick, and students have skipped class in order to attend a once-in-every-ten-years parade.

Derek Jeter, along with CC Sabathia, ARod and all of their lovely ladies (Kate Hudson and Minka Kelly) partying at 1Oak last night after winning the World Series.

Next up, video of ARod and Posada celebrating…. More»

Last night, the Yankees took their first World Series title in 9 years after beating the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3. Now, while Philadelphians curse NYC for the next six months, us New Yorkers can get back to reveling in our superiority and ignoring lesser cities. Or we can take pity on the land of cream cheese and throw them bone without suffering the Turnpike. More»

After nearly a decade, the World Series Crown is back in New York City. Petite and Rivera pitched great games, Matsui killed it (so I’m told?), and the title is ours. Even for those of us who don’t care that much about baseball (*cough cough*) have to be a little excited to see our city win. Be sure to read our earlier coverage HERE, and if you’re a Phillies Fan, be sure to check back later for our Philly in NYC post…

Did you realize yesterday was the one year anniversary this country elected Barack Obama to be our 44th President? Me neither, until the invitation for the event Design For Obama landed in my in-box (but I’m not the most politically inclined). More»

UPDATE: Watch our video of the players partying it up at 1Oak, HERE!

[Photo via Eric Faison] Whether you are the Yankees’ biggest fan, or you think ARod is a schmuck that gets paid way too much… if you are a New Yorker you will excuse the celebratory crowds for the next couple of days and let us enjoy this win. While the crowds were a hot mess with crazy Yankee fans burning Philly cheese steaks (true story) and wrecking havoc on our city streets for the NYPD to clean up, where did the players themselves go to celebrate? 1Oak was where the after party went down. Who was there? More»

In a jaw-dropping defeat last night, the Yankees lost the first game of the World-Series to the Phillies. But if you were playing our World Series Drinking Game, you probably had a pretty good night anyway!

November baseball is here, and our New York Yankees have made it into the World Series. What better way to enjoy the games than playing along with the boys in pinstripe with our exclusive Bronx Bombers Drinking Game. May we humbly suggest you play at the Yankee Tavern or Stan’s Sports Bar, both noted Yankees drinking establishments. More»

Rivalries are fun, especially when you are on the winning end. The NY Yankees beat the Red Sox at Boston’s Fenway Park, yesterday. In this action shot, former BoSox boy Johnny Damon misses a hit (painfully, by the looks of things), but teammate Melky Cabrera picks it up, one of the saves leading to the final 8-4 Yankees victory. Just seeing all this running around in tight pants has me wanting an $8 beer and stale pretzel, and it’s not even noon. More photos below… More»
