Oops… I snuck a few Green River ::: Photos by Josh Yes, that’s right. We youngun’s have a lot of learning to do from the older-but-not-that-much-older generation. Many of our parents would have you think they’re a bunch of burnouts with no prospects, no fashion, and no class. I learned different. Or did I? We’ll get to that later.

With the MLB All Star Game parade upon us, Sixth Ave. from 42nd St. to 59th St. is closed, and the surrounding area is a mess.

Midtown PSA: Stay Away from 6th Avenue Today If you were hoping to cross the Avenue of the Americas for lunch purposes today, you may be very disappointed. The MLB All Star Parade will be shutting down 6th Avenue from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. today, from 40th Street all the way up to 58th Street, and while there will be some cross streets open to pedestrians along the route, I think it’s safe to say you should pretty much steer clear of 6th Avenue during lunch; unless of course you have an intere
