Pile On The Yankees Day continues with this article from the Voice.
We were standing in the rain at Yankees Stadium last night, drinking our $9 beers and waiting for the game to start. Our seats were way up in the nosebleed section, aka the grandstand, but we were hanging out one section down, on the terrace level. On the jumbotron, a chef in pinstripes was making lobster bisque, finished with a sprinkle of roasted, ground star anise.
Meanwhile, we had walked the entire terrace level, and hadn’t seen anything but fries, hot dogs, pretzels, and the like–standard ballpark food. There were cheesesteaks, and Boar’s Head sandwiches, too, I guess, but that isn’t too exciting. Of course, now everything, including the beer, has calorie labels, which I support in theory, but which kind of bums me out in the context of buying a beer at a ballgame. (Although
I am happy that I now know that “bazzini nuts” will set me back over 1000 calories. No thanks.)
Since there was no baseball being played anytime soon, and since I was vaguely remembering all those press releases I got about all the good food at the new stadium, we struck out to look for some better eats.
