Nine stops I actually trust when someone asks me where to take a date, a nephew, or a rowdy table of regulars for something besides wine. I catch for a rec league on Tuesdays and I bleed Brooklyn, so take the Yankees entry with the grain of salt it deserves.

1Yankee StadiumYankee Stadium1 East 161st StreetBronx, NYI root against them on principle, but Monument Park will still get you. Bring cash for the garlic fries, leave your Mets hat at home.
2Madison Square GardenMadison Square Garden4 Pennsylvania PlazaNew York, NYThe Garden smells like popcorn and old glory no matter what's on the marquee. Knicks night, bring earplugs for the kid, not for the noise — for my complaining.
3Barclays CenterBarclays Center620 Atlantic AvenueBrooklyn, NYHome turf. Nets or Liberty, doesn't matter, I'm there with a $9 beer acting like it's a fine Burgundy.
4Maimonides ParkMaimonides Park1904 Surf AvenueBrooklyn, NYMinor league ball, boardwalk air, and a Nathan's within spitting distance. Cheapest great night you'll have all summer.
5Louis Armstrong StadiumLouis Armstrong StadiumUSTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, Flushing Meadows Corona ParkFlushing, NYSmaller than Ashe, closer to the action, and you won't need a loan to sit in it. US Open grounds pass well spent.
6McCarren ParkMcCarren Park776 Lorimer StreetBrooklyn, NYWhere my rec league plays Tuesdays. I catch, I complain about my knees, I still steal second once a season out of spite.
7Citi FieldCiti Field41 Seaver WayFlushing, NYThis is the one. Blue and orange blood, shake shack on site, heartbreak included at no extra charge.
8The Armory TrackThe Armory Track216 Fort Washington AvenueNew York, NYIndoor track meets in winter are a sleeper pick. Fast times, warm building, nobody's phone is dying from the cold.
