New York’s natural rival is the same as in baseball, football, hockey, and basketball…Boston!  The Sharks and the Boston Militia are in the same division and have been battling it out for the division title for the past 10 years.  What is nice about the rivalry is that there are so many road food places to hit between the two cities.

I am thinking of going to Harold’s Deli in Edison before the Jersey game.  Heard so many good things about it, that I will have to compare it to my favorite deli, Katz’s.

Pittsburgh should be fun too, but I am looking forward to stopping in Amish country for some regional specialties.  Fried chicken, Cope’s corn, scrapple, rhubarb pie, chow chow, chicken and dumplings, etc.  I might have to leave New York 3 days ahead of time.
