Yesterday Brandon and I met Ryan down in the Chinatown/East Village for a charity pick up soccer game organized by Steve Nash, who lives in NYC in the summer off season. Apparently, he is a big soccer and both his father and brother are professional soccer players. Steve Nash wasn't too bad himself! They played on a playground turf field in Sara D. Roosevelt Park.
Some big names showed up:
Raja Bell, Steve Nash and Leandro Barbosa (Phoenix Suns), Baron Davis (Golden State Warriors...only guy wearing big, clunky bball shoes and a hat), Thierry Henry (FSome big names showed up:rench/Arsenal player...one of the best soccer players in the world in the past decade....also on the gillette commercial with Tiger Woods and Roger Federer), Robbie Fowler (Liverpool), Jason Kidd (Mavericks), Claudio Reyna, Calu (Chelsea)....
People were hanging from the fences to see these amazing atheletes!!
While we were down there, we picked up donuts from the Donut Plant and ate arepas from Caracas Arepas. We saw them featured on "Throwdown with Bobby Flay." The food was good but unfortunately, though we ordered them "to go" it took over an hour to get our food. But all in all, a fun New York night evening.
