august, ah... august at the spa. you can not beat it.
there is something to be said about taking a few days off in a row and burning them in saratoga springs in august. hit the track at noon, get some seats and sit down and relax and watch the horses pound by.
usually very good weather. lots of people, lots of stuff to do. take some time off and head to saratoga, even if it is not racing, but the track makes it all the better.
at the track you can look at the swells, dressed in their finest fine, attempt to show why they are better. act drunk and veer their way and watch them scurry. look at all the people betting on the horses. look at all the families having fun while mom & dad blow the kids tuitions.
theres a nathans inside. and a sushi tent with awesome sushi. sundays you get giveaways. oger is there.
after, head to siros for some soft-shell & oysters, then cab it downtown and watch the kids line up for their favorite bar.
hit 9 maple and get some good scotch in you.
the bars close at 4, so drink until you need a doughboy and stumble back to your room.
then get up and do it again.
