I can't believe there hasn't been one pic of him in NYC!  

Shocking but not so shocking ! New Yorkers dont really care and tend to keep it moving. If we do get a pic it will most likely be from a tourist. Perhaps, he is there on business and does not have time to be out and sociable?! He leaves tomorrow so perhaps we will get something today.

Worst case, ill take tomorrow off work and loiter around JFK's Delta departure terminal to Utah. LOL. Just kidding!

The picture where he's biting his lobster roll shows he's wearing a wrist band that seems to say something like "charity" ? maybe?  Does anyone here know about that wrist band?

I also find it interesting that he's wearing a "Boston Strong" t-shirt in the tapings, which is in reference to the April 15 Boston Marathon bombings, I think. The guys were in black out at that time, weren't they?   I'm a news junkie, so imagining being out of the  loop on that Boston area news for the week would have been odd to me.   I wonder how much "the sequestered ones" get to know about what's happening in the world or back home.

secretviewer, somewhere I saw a picture of the complete wrist band... not sure where now, but it's for 'charity water' which was part of the focus for inbound13.

As a New Englander and frequent visitor to Boston, it looks like Brooks did a tour of the North End section of town, which is the "Little Italy" area and part of the Freedom Trail. I was actually in town last week in the same area ... he's eating cannolis outside of what looks like Mike's Pastry (very well known and delicious cannolis). The picture in the church is the Old North Church, where the lanterns were hung as a signal for Paul Revere. Great historical area.

Yeah, the "Boston Strong" shirts have been for sale since the April bombings. You see a lot of them in town for sale by vendors and as fundraising efforts for some of the victims families. It's a really great feeling of pride to see them - nice to see Brooks wearing one.

Thanks for the info moonpie !:WAVEY: 
Yeah, I thought that was a cannoli.  I think that last set of pics are my most fav of him yet!  Avis are coming soon!

Ha! I wouldn't blame you one bit! Yeah, I know that people in NYC don't care, but still I want my daily dose of Brooks!

thanks for sharing all that moonpie... it's been so long since I was in Boston, I would probably never find anything any longer.  I did recognize the Old North Church I thought, good to have it confirmed. :Smiley:

Haven't been on the forum lately and it was kind of funny to check into Brooks' forum to see pictures of places I just visited ... Boston is such a great town - I hope he enjoyed it.

Hope Brooks has his throwing arm ready!

This guy is the Sr. VP of tickets for the Utah Jazz and SLC Bees

@ClaySLC: @brooksforester throwing out the opening pitch at this Saturday nights @SaltLakeBees game 635pm. Fireworks after the game. #bachelorette

Maybe it's because he's advertised he's a Sawx fan. Not a good combo in NYC

Yay!   I'm hoping for someone to make a gif of it, if possible (and he doesn't make a fool of himself). Ha.

Hey Barb we missed you!  Hope you are planning on staying and not leaving us again.
