Unless you jump in front of it, it's completely safe. After the game, maybe take a lap around the old stadium (Heritage Field now--you can walk on it) since the subways will be crammed. I'd rather walk around outside for 35 minutes than wait underground in the heat for 25.
Awesome. Your advice is very much appreciated.

Times Square is just a few stops from Yankee Stadium. Totally safe.

Will the Subway be safe for 2 7 PM games (Tuesday and Wednesday) with me and my wife going all the way back to Midtown??
I took the subway back from Yankee Stadium in the 7th inning in a rush not to shite myself. There was some serious something in that hotdog that hit me.
The Subway came to a halt around the History Museum stop for about 15 minutes.
I was probably the craziest person on the train. Sweating, shaking and irritated.
Thank God the subway exit was right by my hotel at the Sheraton. It was not pretty when I got back to the hotel.
And no...I do not shite in public places.

Even better. Didn't realize that they were this close.
While I've got your attention, non sports related, but do you have a favorite place to eat in either Chinatown or Little Italy? Looking for some authentic grub.

This story is another example of why a steak is not a bad option...or just fasting...

They aren't that close. It's about a 20 minute or so subway trek. There's nothing really bad about it or anything you need to worry over, though.

In Little Italy, there's the legendary Lombardi's, supposedly the first ever pizzeria. Some locals might call it overrated, but it's really good.
The Best pizza imho is John's Pizzeria on Bleecker and Jones. Close to Little Italy in Greenwich Village. Damn good. When you leave, walk up Jones Street to West 4th (only one block), and if your wife is on your left arm, you'll be right here:
In case this helps, my favorite Italian restaurant is Don Giovanni's on 44th and 9th. I've had the rigatoni special at least 100 times.

You are the man. Thanks for the suggestions. I can't wait to come up there. Only 3 more months. We have gotten tickets for the Statue of Liberty Crown, the 9/11 Memorial, Lion King performance, and 2 Cubs-Yankees games.

Uh oh. What's the difference between local and express and how would I be able to tell the difference in the two?
I am staying at the Doubletree on Lexington Avenue. I assume there would be a Subway stop reasonably close to that.

Local trains stop at every stop in Manhattan. Express trains skip 3-4 stops and just stop at the main ones. I think the 4 is express that goes there but you're going to need to double check.

Yeah it looks like the 4 train makes several stops on Lexington avenue at night. And it looks like Yankee Stadium is only a few stops away from there depending on where I get off on Lexington.

Google maps is pretty helpful when you get here. They have good public transportation directions

quote:As far as Yankee Stadium is concerned, no difference in the actual train. The Yankee Stadium trains are express until about 11pm and then they're local. You'll get on whatever train is there; the time of day determines whether or not your train will skip the stops you don't care about.

Fighting the crowd to catch the subway is way cheaper and easier than a taxi or driving
I didn't ask why the subway was more convenient.

Definitely the Subway, that's the coolest experience when you arrive at the stadium that way.
Went to the old stadium, it really was kind of a dump inside.

There is one other good option. Take the Metro North Train from Grand Central. Roughly 12-15 minutes and you can drink on the train (legally). Usually not as crowded on the way there. On the way back, the station is just as crowded as the Subway. I live 10 minutes north on the train line from there, so it really is the only option for me when I go to games.
Regarding good Italian, I would recommend Arthur Avenue in the Bronx over Little Italy. Unfortunately, it's not that easy to get to unless you take the Subway and a local bus (or you can cab it)
