Mets fans, if you’re a high roller you may be sitting in one of the empty skyboxes or empty Audi Club but I’ll bet you’re a regular folk like me who bought the cheapest ticket and just wants a beer.
Yankee Stadium offers Beers of The World.
Let’s take a look at a menu…
Oh my! $11. A friend of mine who will drink at any occasion was taken back by his $11 Guiness. They Yankees will tell you they have $6 beers, which is true – but they are like two sip beers.
There’s also “Tommy Bahamas” above the Great Hall. Sounds like fun but it’s just a sectioned off part of the ramp system that sells alcohol. Nothing exciting. The old Casey’s 37 was better.
Maybe you’d like a cheesesteak. These are getting good reviews from anyone I’ve talked to, but once again I am cheap and can’t crash that $10 threshold.
This stand is on the rich people’s field level (I think in Bronxese the level is called “main”) on the first base side.
Also down on the main level is this food court. There you find the regular folks. Regular stadium food, none of which is as good as its Citi Field counterparts.
Nearby, by home plate you will find a fancy shmancy restaurant. I haven’t been in it but doesn’t interest me at all.
I’m partial to the Johnny Rockets shake. At $7 it fills me up. You’ll find this Johnny Rockets in the CF bleachers.
Also in CF I found this stand. I’m squinting but it looks like you can buy a pulled pork sandwich.
Over by the museum I saw this kosher stand. Haven’t tried it yet.
My suggestion: have a $6 beer (at a regular stand) and a hot dog, call it a day, and go out to eat on the way home. There’s no Shake Shack or Taqueria in this place.

So I was at Yankee Stadium yesterday for my 2nd time of the year (as a Mets fan, rooting for the Rays, of course). I ordered chicken fingers, and asked if they had BBQ sauce (the girl said yes) and asked if they had honey mustard (the girl said no). My chicken fingers come out, and I ask for the BBQ sauce, and she tells me it's by the condiment stand. (I went to a game in mid-April, and this same thing happened, but there was no BBQ sauce). I thought to myself "OK, I guess they finally woke up and got some BBQ sauce after people complained". I go to the condiment stand, and there was only ketchup and mustard. I go back to inquire, and the girl asks her manager, and she tells me "sorry, we don't carry BBQ sauce". Weak. Back to Citi Field I go!
Not only does the food blow at the new Yankee…the stadium itself isn't very good. Citi Field blows it away in every which way!
It's nice to see the Mets Fan guide to Yankee Stadium. Too much posturing and arguing for bragging rights around NY. Having said that, this guide is useless to me. I will never set foot in the new Yankee Stadium much like I never set foot in the old one.
House that Ruth Built, Cathedral of Baseball…. yada yada yada. I have no interest in putting any money in Steinbrenner's pocket, or contributing one red cent to help perpetuate the bogus Yankee mythology. You believe it? Fine. You can have it, hook line and sinker. Feh. Unworthy of the Mets Police (doesn't mean I'll stop coming here).
