Chelsea Piers

This place is awesome. Pier 62 has indoor basketball courts, soccer fields, gymnastics rooms, etc.

Okay now that that's out of the way, the real reason I am writing this review is I just finished a pickleball league here, and need to write a message to the Fermented Cucumber faithful. I wont be speaking to the media or doing an exit interview, so this will be my final message for the Cuc fans until next season:

First off, I would like to address the rumors head on. Yes, I had about 6-8 Tequila sodas on the yacht before the game on Thursday. After knocking off the #1 seed "It's Kosher" the week prior, I will be the first to admit I took "Dil with the Dinks" lightly, and it showed.

The bigger picture is that I let the newfound fame, money, and success get to me. When you are from where I am from and receive a Brinks truck of money over night, it's hard to not get lost in it. Icarus, who ignored his father's warnings about his wings melting when flying too close to the sun, comes to mind.

The former undisputed middleweight champion of the world Marvin Hagler but it ever-so eloquently when he said "It's difficult to get up and do roadwork at five in the morning when you're sleeping in silk sheets." I lost sight of what got me here, but I promise you, Cuc faithful, I am getting it back. There is a fire in my belly now bigger than I ever could have imagined. I am going to soak in defeat, and really feel this feeling to fan the flame for next season.

Next season for us starts right now. We have a million and one excuses that we could go to. The fact of the matter is we aren't going to make one. The Dinks played better than we did in this series and we still had an opportunity to win it, but it didn't go for us. This offseason, I'm going to push myself to exhaustion to get back here.

I will not sleep until The Alphabet City Fermented Cucumbers are the ZogSports New York City Indoor Pickle Ball Chelsea Piers Thursday night Champions of the World.

As I write this, Drew Zhou and I are on the way to throw out our silk sheets. I will see you in the Fall, Cuc faithful.

I love taking in the view of the Hudson while playing golf. I don't know of any other place where you can enjoy such a great view while you play golf.

Excellent! An experience we'll never forget, and one very different from the times we went on other Harbor cruises.
A breath of fresh air in comparison with other, more crowded , NY City tourist attractions.

Great food and fun golfing 🏌️ with JPM CIB interns.

Fun place for kids and adults who play sports. Pier 61 has a couple of ice skating rinks.
But it is expensive. The vending machine with chips etc is $2.50 / ea
That is crazy!!

This Pier has a combination of Piers, you can organize the best wedding and any event here. The Staff are well-trained, friendly and welcoming. This is kind of located on the Hudson River and you will see different types of Ships here.

This place is really cool, really fun. I was invited to the driving range today. Got to whack some balls. The tee sets the ball itself, I just swung over and over again. Even felt myself improving over the 2 hour period.

Overlooking the Hudson, laughing and enjoying the easy vibes. Felt like a nice getaway even though I was still in the heart of the city. Definitely will return soon
