re: NYC trip in May. Recommendations?

We went to one during the last year of the old Yankee Stadium

The subway to the Yankee game was not that bad even though it passes through Harlem. I was comforted by the fact that half the people in there were wearing Yankees gear and it was obvious they were going to the game.

We visited old Yankee Stadium the same year.

Funny story... we took the subway but missed the stop to YS. Turns out everyone else in our car were tourists so we were just blindly following each other. We didn't notice until the train passed a bunch of fans. My wife asked some gypsy looking old woman and she just looked at her sadly and said "girl, you on the wrong train."

Apparently we had to take the express to a certain point, then had to switch trains to get on the one that made the stop at YS. We were heading further north to who knows where. We had to switch trains at the next stop, and the same lady said you'd be alright just DO NOT get off the bridge when you switch trains
