It's fleet week in NYC! All Sex and the City fans know exactly what I mean wih that. If you have never heard of it, well, it's supposed to be fantastic! I will arrive in NYC on the 27th, so I only get to experience the last day! That's also the day the Sex and the City film has it's premiere in New York. How appropriate.
Thousands of Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen from U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard ships will be in town for Fleet Week New York.
Hosted nearly every year since 1984, Fleet Week New York is the City's celebration of the sea services. This annual event also provides an opportunity for the citizens of New York City and the surrounding Tri-State area to meet Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, as well as witness first hand the latest capabilities of today's Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard Team.
Fleet Week includes dozens of military demonstrations and displays throughout the week, as well as public visitation of many of the participating ships.
ah! that's why they sell sausages and pancakes around my corner all night long.

Saw that happening in Antwerp a couple of years ago. All the girls where hunting for a sailor from the "Amerigo Vespucci". Italian sailors in a nice uniform wearing short swords. Hard times for us guys...
