Citi Field: Blue Smoke, Shake Shack & Fried Dough

(What, did you think because it’s my blog-birthday, I wouldn’t post?!  Silly people…)
The season is over in a few days, though for many Mets fans, the season’s been over for quite a while now.  I wrote parts of this a while back, but hadn’t a chance to post it.  With one last homestand this weekend, maybe it will help you decide what to eat as you mourn the passing of yet another season.  Maybe not.  I won’t be at this weekend’s games, but I will be back next year.  See you around, Citi Field. 
I will definitely be following up [...]

Citi Field: Cascarino’s, Nathan’s, and MolliCoolz

David Wright’s first at-bat on August 2, 2009, versus the Diamondbacks
By the time this post goes up, baseball season will be winding down.  For some teams, the pressure will be high as the race becomes neck and neck.  For my team, at this writing, it is looking unlikely that the race will apply to me.  We are struggling right now, and ending the season above .500 looks like a good goal at this point.  Many of our best players are on the DL – have been on the DL for much of the season – and it is what [...]

Nationals Park

“Let’s go Nats” sounds an awful lot like “Let’s go Mets” doesn’t it?

It’s no secret how much I love baseball.  Perhaps slightly lesser known is my desire to visit - and eat some amazing ballpark food from – each and every one of the 29 MLB stadiums around the country (and one in Canada)… and blog about each stadium and its food (of course!).  In any case, I started the journey timidly back in May, with a trip to PNC Park in Pittsburgh with my boyfriend.  It was a good trip, but I couldn’t help but wonder how much MORE I would [...]

Citi Field: World Market Mama’s, Box Frites

I’m sure you’re all familiar now with my passion for baseball.  (And yes, that is a photo of David Wright’s first-at-bat of the game, a habit I’ve acquired and now have a sizeable collection of such photos – and this photo is especially nice because if you blow it up to ‘actual size’ you can see the ball going towards David, plus he hit it into the outfield for I believe a single.)  BF had a wedding reception to attend, so I took the opportunity to bring HB to her first game at Citi Field. 
(HB and I have [...]

Citi Field: Nachos Grande and Taqueria

June 22, 2009.  St. Louis Cardinals v. New York Mets.
Another game.  Another photograph of David Wright’s first at-bat.  (I have a collection starting from last season continuing through this year to the games I’ve attended.)  We won this game. 
As it was a night game post-work, I didn’t want to eat too much.  It was slightly chilly – this season has yet to warm up, still – so I grabbed a jacket and headed to the Nachos Grande stand (the one on promenade level close to the elevators by right field as you come up).

The menu.  I find [...]
