The Cubs will start a three-game series with the New York Mets on Tuesday, and the players had Monday to explore the city.

Rookie third baseman Kris Bryant toured the city with his girlfriend Jessica Delp, and they were noticed by fans while walking around.

Bryant is hitting .429 with two home runs and four RBI against the Mets this season.
