    Spurs looked a right Dogs Dinner without Modric. Doesn't help that they haven't got 1 good enough striker. Friedel played well,like last monday it would of been a complete drubbing without a good keeper.

    Breakfast at tick tock diner every morning!

    Open top bus tour is a nice way to see the city and learn about the history.

    Statue of Liberty

    Empire state

    Walk around central park to clear a hangover

    Lots of bargains in the shops

    A comfy pair of shoes for all the walking you will be doing.

    Where abouts are you staying?

    I ****ing love NY, cant wait to go back.

    ^ Pancakes at Tick tock sounds good round about now.

    Have a beer at teh Woodland Brewhouse. It is at the foot of the ESB.

    I enjoy just people watching in Time Square.

    Do the "Circle Tour". Its a river trip, shows many of the main sights.

    Take a walk around the meat Packing District. It is so far removed from Manhattan its unreal.

    UFO (Unidentified Flying Chicken)

    was really nice as well, out in brooklyn, go during the day lol.

    ach i can't remember the name of the toy store that was filmed in tom hank's big. It's close to the apple store. FAO Schwartz!

    also check out the seinfeld restaurant.

    ya times square is pretty awesome. there's seats and a stand too. there's a ticket u can buy to do a few sights at once. Oh and the Natural History Museum.

    I think the ghostbusters HQ is there too; although they moved the GB sign inside :(

    Sparks Restaurant Votwad for the finest steak you will ever eat in your entire life. I go to NY every January and its probably the thing I look forward to most. All the old mobsters used to eat in there. Many's a Made Man has eaten his fill in there. Sublime.

    http://www.sparkssteakhouse.com/

    Greatest City in the world IMO, you couldn't possibly run out of things to do. Go into Abercrombie and Fitch and ask them for a job as a male model standing around all day in your underwear. Or go visit the Scientology HQ and rip the p*ss.:pac:

    To add to the NY steak recomendations try http://www.frankieandjohnnies.com/steakhouses/frankieandjohnnies.html

    Just off Times sq and all the theatres. Has aload of signed actors portraits on the walls , like that place Troy McClure took Selma to in The Simpsons and the waiter looks like Mr Bean.

    http://www.dallasbbq.com/times-square.

    I like it in Jan, it does be very cold, but I kinda like it that way. Central park is class with a layer of snow over it. From what I've heard it gets very unpleasant in th Summer with the heat and humidity ahich I wouldn't enjoy at all. You can always get very good prices on flights in January as well and there are great sales in the shops. I normally despise shopping but for some reason I don't mind it over there. Great bargains to be had.

    Love New York!

    Usually go every two years or so and stock up on enough clothes to last me till the next trip. Thankfully I've never been stopped by customs either!

    Definitely go to Jersey Gardens, much better than Woodbury commons imo but if you have the time, try both.

    Carmines restaurant off Times Square is amazing, huge portions! Also the Carnegie deli on 57th street. It's a great little place with plenty of celebs going in and out all the time.

    It's definitely a shopping heaven, excellent for picking up suits and stuff too. Last time I went with the GF I dropped about 6 grand in four days, absolutely lived it up!

    Next time I go I'll make it coincide with an ROH event.

    Here's my diary plan for the World Cup campaign

    Beat England this week

    Struggle initially against the USA but winning by less than 10 points in a close game

    Lose to Australia and suffer two key injuries

    Beat Russia and watch the media hype us up against Italy

    Lose to Italy by 2 as Johnny Sexton flops a late penalty attempt

    The end. And this nightmare will also feature an appearance by the evil Paddy Wallace.

    Can't be any worse than the piss poor world cup last summer that had damn all good matches. I'm looking forward to it, the football season hasn't lit up yet at all,loads of transfer talk & damn all to talk about whats happening on the pitch. At least we are in this World Cup & are pretty good at the sport. Hope to god Drico doesn't get injured or else we're proper ****ed

And on February 23, 2008 Todd Grisham hosted a feature on WWE.com on showcasing the Slammy Awards' Top 10 moments which Pettengill's opening number was number 8. At the following years Slammy's he hosted the Slammy for "Miss Slammy" which was won by Sable. His last pay-per-view appearance was at SummerSlam 1997 and left the WWF after his contract expired.
