Casa Latina, a East Harlem Hidden Gem

Posted on March 13, 2012 by | Leave a comment

In his article for the NY Times Frugal Traveler, Seeing the Work on a Budget, writer Seth Krugel wrote about his stopover in New York City, as he set out to find free or inexpensive places that weren’t mentioned in Fodor’s, Frommer’s, Lonely Planet and Michelin. Of course he found one, Casa Latina in Harlem.

Casa Latina. One of the few Puerto Rican hold-outs along 116th Street in Spanish Harlem, which long ago became predominantly Mexican, Casa Latina, at 151 East 116th Street, sells guitars and bongos, but its raison d’être is the sale of CDs, DVDs and vinyl. Continue reading →

$100,000 For Derek Jeter’s locker?

Derek Jeter

Great news for Ruben Rivera! After this season is done, he might actually be able to purchase Derek Jeter‘s locker as part of the expected $20 million memorabilia sell-off of the condemned Yankee Stadium.

 

No, it’s not the same locker Rivera was accused of stealing a bat and glove from in 2002, which resulted in his release from the team may be up for sale. That one was located at the team’s spring training facility in Tampa.

 

But if he wants the real thing, he better be prepared to pay. According to today’s Bloomberg News Article, Jeter’s locker, which has been his for 14 years, could fetch between $50,000 and $100,000

 

According to Bloomberg, two other expected auction items include:

Seats: These could sell for about $1,000 apiece and because they’re hard to remove and store, only 20,000 out of 56,000 are estimated to be put up for sale. Continue reading →
