Long time, no baseball! With a visit to Citi Field to see a New York Mets game, I checked out the vegan status of the stadium. Unlike the reporting of previous years, what is vegan at the stadium is way more obvious thanks to notations on the menu… and the Read more…

It’s been a long time since I have been at a baseball game at Citi Field! Though rainy, it was great to be part of the energy of the ballpark… and especially with old friends. First a glimpse of the new Tom Seaver monument. It’s impressive. Said old friends! Now Read more…

A bit late, but it’s my first New York Mets game of the season! I am proud to say that my blog is the top Google result for “vegan Citi Field.” [And I am the 4th result for “vegan yankees stadium” too! And 8th result for “vegan Brooklyn Cyclones” while Read more…

Back at Citi Field because I cannot resist a Star Wars/Mets bobblehead. Though I always start with the usual: the stadium’s Yves veggie dog with all the fixin’s, Nathan’s fries and a Bud Light, I recently received a note from a man named John about the buns paired with the Read more…

[A 2019 update! Please see most recent report on vegan offerings at Citi Field here.] And just like that, it’s baseball season again! With a beautiful Saturday in the forecast, a win on their opening day and a free teddy bear promotion, I was at Citi Field for the New York Read more…

[New for 2018 season! Please see most recent report on vegan offerings at Citi Field here.] At Citi Field again… and in the rain again. I’ve gone to 3 games this season and it has rained each time! The Mets have also won each time, too, so I won’t complain Read more…

It is the 4th of July long weekend so it was time for baseball and beer. And veggie dogs. Sometimes I think that I get a Citi Field veggie dog just to have a vehicle for piles of stuff from the fixin’s bar. Lucas Duda’s home run apple. There are Read more…

Veggie dogs are more a vehicle for fixin’s. Even more so now as Citi Field now seem to have a new dog that is very, er, tasteless. Not exactly sure of what changed from previous years? Perhaps it is no longer from Yves Veggie Cuisine or maybe they changed their recipe? Either way, it’s Read more…

It was a sporty day. First, it was The FedEx Cup (Bubba) in the morning at Bethpage’s Black Course. I’m a fan of Bubba. He’s a total weirdo. This is a good thing. And baseball in the evening! This is the joy of summers off, being free from a draining Read more…

Summer–on the way home. Summer–with mustard, onion, and relish. Summer–on the field.

The second to last row in Citi Field is first row for the sunset viewing. First course munchies: A slice of V for Vegan from Two Boots‘s stand. Though I’m not a fan of the Daiya fake cheese, it’s a rule you get to splurge at the ballpark. Especially when your team is Read more…

Coming up for air from the chaos of a new school year, I baked some “12 Men on the Field” cupcakes: rich chocolate cake (I used Chloe‘s celebration cake), vanilla buttercream filling, chocolate ganache-topped with a vegan royal icing football laces. 3 types of icings for every cupcake. I’m not Read more…

Before the baseball game, we hit the all-vegan bakery on Long Island, Sweet to Lick. I got the orange creamsicle cupcake. Then a vegan hot dog at Citi Field, with all the fixins. A delicious day topped with a free canvas of David Wright’s tongue.

Somehow the baseball season is now upon us! With 2012 lying fast and the spring sun shining strong, the second day of the Mets season proved to be the perfect day for a baseball. With nary a cloud in the sky, the Mets would continue undefeated. And for an exorbitant Read more…

My first Mets game of the season and I chowed down on two loaded veggie dogs. I may have gotten a bit over-zealous with the fixin’s stand.
August 7, 2010
I made another visit to Citi Field recently, still pickled blue and orange that I can enjoy a hot dog and a beer and watch the game. Though I had originally intended to supplement my Vegan at Citi Field report from June with some information on the stand-alone booths (zeppole, Read more…

Ah, the emergence of the mainstream health-conscious movement, helping to increase the demand for veg-friendly food amongst the meat-heavy American fare of sports venues, I thank you. Your reasons are far more socially-acceptable… yes, the size of our behinds truly is more important than the the welfare of millions of Read more…

How do you know summer is officially on the outs in New York? 1. The San Gennaro Feast has begun in Little Italy. 2. The Mets fail to make it into the play-offs.3. Manhattan’s Chinatown becomes bearable, making a visit to Vegetarian Dim Sum House far more enjoyable.

I took my first trip to the new stadium of the Mets this past Saturday for their Take Her Out To The Ballgame day. The new stadium is nice, save for the small Times Square peeking high into the sky ’round its perimeter. It’s a brand new stadium so it Read more…
