Citi Field has officially been crowned the best ballpark for food in Major League Baseball, for the third year in a row. With an impressive lineup of diverse, high-quality food vendors, the home of the Mets continues to set the gold standard for stadium dining, offering fans an unbeatable mix of flavors that truly represent New York City.
Citi Field Food, A Culinary Experience
Forget basic stadium hot dogs, Citi Field takes ballpark dining to another level. Fans can enjoy gourmet steak from Pat LaFrieda’s Chop House, indulge in Korean fried chicken from Seoul Bird, or grab a spicy slice from Prince Street Pizza.
Also, and new for this season, Chef Kwame’s Patty Palace brings bold Caribbean flavors with its curried chicken patty. Others, like Pig Beach BBQ, offer a smoked turkey sandwich packed with tangy Alabama white sauce.
Exclusive Local Vendors Add a NYC Touch
This season, Citi Field is spotlighting four local food makers in partnership with Coca-Cola. Arepalicious, Fieldtrip, Thai Tai Eatery, and Dorado Tacos & Quesadillas will rotate throughout the year. It will give Mets fans and tourists a true taste of NYC’s diverse food scene.
Also, even classic New York flavors get an upgrade, with vendors like Chiddy’s Cheesesteaks serving up Philly-style sandwiches and Arepalicious offering cheese-stuffed arepas topped with pulled chicken. With an emphasis on local businesses, Citi Field ensures its menu reflects the city’s rich food culture.
Citi Field Drinks to Match the Food Hype
The food isn’t the only star at Citi Field, the drink selection is just as exciting. Fans can enjoy craft beers from Montauk and Brooklyn Brewery. Or sip on the Queens Quencher, a Mets-themed cocktail made with vodka, blue raspberry liqueur, and lemonade. For those looking for something different, the stadium is now serving sparkling sake from MIO.
From its curated lineup of NYC-inspired flavors to its commitment to local vendors, Citi Field isn’t just a place to watch baseball. It’s a full-on culinary destination. Whether you’re there for the game or just the food, one thing is certain: no ballpark does it better.
