Following. I'll be in the city for school, and I'd love to get some runs in. I figure Dyckman and Rucker Park definitely have open runs in the summer. Aime Leon Dore also hosts tourneys(I think 3v3) in the summer.

Depends where you are and how far you want to travel. If you’re uptown, basically every park from Morningside up has courts. The MLK projects also have the Kingdome, and Rucker is right off the train by the Polo towers. If you’re downtown, Pier 36, Chelsea Piers, Columbus Park, and Sara Roosevelt have courts. In Brooklyn, there’s Fort Green projects and McCarren, and I think Prospect has them too. Don’t know about Queens, but the rule of thumb is that if there’s a reasonably sized park or NYCHA buildings, there’s gonna be a basketball court.  

 

Per Paul Simon, I think it's the LES, but only if you want to get schooled by Spud Webb:

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.

Bonus points to anybody who can get the old man in the windbreaker batting lefty in that video.
