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…

The “Z” from my classroom has hung in all my official teaching spaces. So now it is on my apartment door. I can’t wait until it is back in room 329A. That time of the month. The time when Vegancuts send me a care package. Even more welcome in a 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…

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

The Sanctum has a fresh, vibrant vegan breakfast items that are the perfect start for a long day of sites. Any place with a mural like that is bound to deliver on plant-based goodies… equally important, kick-butt French press coffee equivalent to nine cups of hotel’s brown, hot water. Normally I Read more…

September means up at the crack of dawn to return to my Brooklyn classroom. Silver lining: Seeing the sun rise. G train suspended due to derailment. Silver lining: Brooklyn views. Driving to Brooklyn. Silver lining: good tempeh at Brooklyn Ball Factory. Vegan Shop-up being swarmed with human beings. Silver lining: Sweet Maresa‘s 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.

So what if Philadelphia sports fans have a terrible reputation… and the SEPTA subway trains are home to a human hostility I haven’t experienced in some time… and that the Phillies are whipping the Mets’ butts in the National League East… and that I had to take a certification exam Read more…

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 had previously read on some website (Ok, here) that the Washington Nationals stadium offers vegan options: veggie dogs, veggie burgers and veggie chili, too! But Saturday, June 6, 2009 they had nothing of the sort. Concession employees at the Grand Slam Grill told me that they were selling veggie Read more…

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…

Today’s Mets vs. Marlins game may be the last game played in New York’s Shea Stadium. I say “may” because it is my hope that they’ll be playing the Milwaukee Brewers in sudden death as they’re both tied for the National League wildcard. This is exciting on many levels, mostly Read more…
