The Atlantic Antic also features plenty of live music, kids and family events, arts and crafts, and much more.

The weather is somewhat threatening today, but the Atlantic Antic goes on rain or shine. It runs from 10am to 6pm, on Atlantic Avenue from Hicks Street to Fourth Avenue.

During the weekend of October 4th and 5th you can get tours of architectural wonders that are rarely seen by New Yorkers (many of which are usually private or off-limits to the public). Covering all five boroughs of New York City, the 2008 Open House New York sites include the newly completed 7 World Trade Center, the Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House, Castle Clinton National Monument in Battery Park, The Arsenal (originally built as an armory, and now the headquarters of the Parks & Recreation Dept.), and many more.

Because of the unique nature of many of the attractions, tours are often limited to a small number of people, and some sites may be open only one day. Visit the Open House New York Web site above for a complete listing of locations, hours and times, ticket information, and much more.

Clint Eastwood's Changeling will be the NYFF Centerpiece, while the closing night will feature Darren Aronofsky's latest film, The Wrestler, which is sparking intense Oscar buzz for its star Mickey Rourke (yes, Mickey Rourke).

You can find all the details and schedules and descriptions of the films at the New York Film Festival Web site, www.filmlinc.com/nyff/nyff.html.

This year's Festival will also venture beyond Lincoln Center, with some screenings presented at the historic Zeigfeld Theater.

Babe Ruth's granddaughter visited Yankee Stadium for the final time yesterday, and today fans will be allowed to walk on the field and tour monument park starting at 1 p.m. and going until 6:45 p.m.

A special ceremony will begin around 7 p.m., and no doubt many surprise guests will be present. Expected to attend are Yankee legends such as Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Goose Gossage, Ron Guidry, and Graig Nettles.

The new Yankee Stadium opens next April, right next to the current one.

Though today is the last game at Yankee Stadium, a gala, star-studded farewell ceremony will be held in November; the date has not yet been announced.

You can find out more in a special Yankee Stadium FAQ at the Yankees' official Web site.

Taking place on Mulberry Street in New York City's historic Little Italy, the Feast features more than 300 vendors selling food, drink, and other items. Or you eat indoors or outdoors at three dozen of Little Italy's restaurants. There is also live entertainment and more.

The Feast of San Gennaro is easily accessible by public transportation (you do NOT want to be driving anywhere near the Feast, especially on the final weekend!). You can find more information by calling (212)768-9320 or by checking out the official Feast of San Gennaro Web site, www.sangennaro.org.

Bring your appetite, loosen your belt, and head down to Little Italy for the last weekend of San Gennaro!

The tour is managed by ArtHarlem, a community-based, not-for-profit organization, and you can find more information on it and on the Harlem Open Artist Studio Tour at its Web site, www.hoast.org/events.htm.

Another ArtHarlem project is Evolution: The Changing Face of Harlem, which takes place from September 22nd to November 6th. Check www.artharlem.org for more information, locations, and hours.

The photos at the non-profit Museum were taken by Gary Marlon Suson, who was the official photographer at Ground Zero for the Uniformed Firefighters Association. But if you want to see them, and the rest of the Museum, you'll probably have to wait for a bit after September 11th, because the Museum is small and, according to the Web site, can only accommodate 25 people for each 90-minute tour.

I haven't made it to the Ground Zero Museum yet, but hope to soon.

The signings are being held on Wednesday and Thursday, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., at Battery Park in Lower Manhattan. New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg opened the event and signed the words, "Never Forget," with the word "never" underlined.

Dementieva and Jankovic will meet in the first of Friday's afternoon semifinal matches, and the winner will receive not only a berth in the U.S. Open final, but the number-one position in WTA women's singles ranking.

In the second match, which many observers feel will yield the eventual champion, Serena Williams of the U.S. faces the resurgent Russian player Dinara Safina. The sister of ATP Tour player Marat Safin, Safina has had a great tournament and year in 2008, reaching the finals of the French Open and the Beijing Olympic singles tournament.

Venus Williams defeated her sister Venus Williams on Wednesday in two sets, 7-6, 7-6.
