Citi Field 2012 Concessions Preview

For a few years now, I’ve been writing a guide to eating at Citi Field (last year’s can be found here). Usually it’s just after the season has started – mostly because I do on-the-ground reporting, ie, I actually visit the ballpark a few times and report on price changes, new menu items, try a few things, and all that. This year, you’ll have that guide – though it may take longer, as I’m no longer a Sunday plan holder (to my great sadness) – but this will have to tide you over for now. I received an email about [...]

Citi Field – Lobster Roll

That photo is from the last regular season game at Citi Field that was included in my Sunday plan (September 25, 2011).  This picture is from the last regular season game that I actually attended – September 27, 2011 – courtesy of my overactive Twitter account one day a few months ago.  I participated in a Twitter battle between the Detroit Tigers and the New York Mets, and because I helped them beat the competition, they DMed me for my address “to send me an autographed photo of Mr. Met” – but included in the envelope was a couple of [...]

New Meadowlands Stadium – Giants v. Bears, August 22, 2011

Football season is in full swing, and while I am through-and-through a baseball fan, a little known trivia tidbit about me is that I used to be a HUGE Buffalo Bills fan.  They went to the Super Bowl 4 years in a row – and lost all 4 years – but I would console myself with the knowledge that this meant they were 2nd place in all of football (spoken like a true Mets fan – gotta find some way to make up for losing, right?).  I had to give up when they failed me too many times, plus I [...]

Yankee Stadium – Parm

With only 8 home games left in the season (and who knows how many in the post), I thought I’d share with you my most recent visit to Yankee Stadium.  I am fortunate enough to be blessed with friends like TT, who had tickets to this game but couldn’t go and thoughtfully shared them with me instead.  Thanks TT!    Since he’d gone on his own at a game earlier this season, but we’d not gone at the last Yankees game together as my budget didn’t allow, this time, Beer Boor decided he wanted to get the meatball sandwich from [...]

Citi Field – Keith’s Grill

As I mentioned last time, I’ve eaten most of the food at the park that I deem interesting.  However, new things do pop up from time to time, and since I’ve been hearing about Keith’s Grill – named after Keith Hernandez – said to offer burgers the way Keith himself likes them – I knew what I had to do.   So one gorgeous afternoon when the Mets were playing the Angels  - these are not my normal seats, no, my darling mother-in-law’s friend offered BF and I tickets to these seats, and I took this picture to show how close I [...]
