What to Eat at Citi Field This Season

If a sports team is only as good as its concession stands, it would appear the New York Mets are in for a fantastic season this year, judging by the menus available throughout Citi Field. We’ve broken the stadium’s offerings down by the newbies and the old standbys -- from DŌ’s raw cookie dough to Fuku chicken sandwiches -- so you can make the most out of your baseball watching.

DŌ
Promenade Club
Cookie dough devotees wait hours in the West Village for a scoop of this safe-to-eat raw dough, so here’s hoping Mets fans don’t have to wait nine innings. Signature chocolate chip, cake batter, and sugar cookie flavors will all be available at the stadium, with scoops starting at $6.

Nicoletta
Taste of the City on the Field Level concourse

Catch of the Day
Section 102
If you’re craving seafood at the game, hit up this stand from James Beard Award-winning chef and co-owner of Esca, Dave Pasternack. South Bay lobster tacos with cheese, salsa, and citrus slaw can be enjoyed alongside loaded Bayside fries topped with breaded Cherrystone clam strips and creamy clam chowder fondue.

Two Boots

This New York-based pizza mini-chain is slinging brand-new slices this season, like the Queen of Queens, a white pie topped with Creole-spiced chicken, broccoli, and basil, and a vegan-friendly V Slice topped with artichokes, shiitake mushrooms, red onions, pesto, and Daiya non-dairy cheese.

Big Mozz
Promenade Club
The cheese-themed Smorgasburg favorite is debuting at Citi Field with a selection of homemade mozzarella sticks served on a stick, so you can keep your hands grease-free until your next round of cheese fries. Sticks are available with a side homemade red sauce, pesto, and other dips.

Celebrate a good inning by hitting up David Chang’s famed Fuku for the signature deep-fried dark meat chicken sandwich. Trade in your traditional stadium fries for thick cut Fuku fries and spicy Ssäm sauce.

Rao’s Specialty Foods, Inc.
Foxwoods Club (Excelsior Level)
The original Rao’s may be one of the hardest reservations to get in New York, but the Citi Field outpost gives you a taste of the exclusive East Harlem Italian restaurant right in the stadium. If you’re sitting behind home plate, order the steak pizzaiola hero and a slow-roasted beef short rib sandwich with mozzarella cheese on fresh baked Italian bread.
