    NY Mets Games Guide: Where to Eat, Best Seats & More to Know Before Going
    2025/06/17
    Attending a New York Mets game at Citi Field is a phenomenal experience for locals and tourists alike. With its proximity to some excellent Asian food in Flushing, cheap ticket prices (generally), and a fun atmosphere, it's an activity we highly recommend!Brief History of Citi Field and the MetsFounded in 1962, they're based in Queens, New York, and have won two World Series championships (1969 and 1986). The team colors are blue and orange.Citi Field has been the Mets' home stadium since 2009, replacing the iconic Shea Stadium. Located in the Flushing neighborhood of Queens, the ballpark was designed as a tribute to Brooklyn's old Ebbets Field, featuring classic brick architecture. The stadium has a capacity of about 41,900 and is known for its distinctive exterior rotunda, excellent sight lines, and the Home Run Apple that rises when a Met hits a home run.It's genuinely a beautiful stadium that feels both updated and modern, yet retains its charm. I love watching planes take off and land at nearby LaGuardia Airport as the game progresses.Best Seats at Citi FieldThere are NO bad seats at Citi Field. We often scour various ticket sites for last-minute cheap tickets, then float around the stadium throughout the game.We often have the best luck on ticket prices on Vivid Seats (plus you earn rewards for free tickets).Where to Eat/Drink Before a Mets GameThere is little to nothing right next to Citi Field, so most people either eat or drink wherever they're coming from, or go to Flushing or Corona.Corona is known for Latin food, Flushing (Main St. stop on the 7) is one of the best spots in the world for Asian, and specifically Chinese food (besides China, of course).Spots in Flushing (one stop on the subway or a 20-minute walk):Nan Xiang Soup DumplingsFood court in the basement of the New World MallPeking Duck Sandwich StallChung Moo, try the homemade kimchiWhite BearThis Episode's You'll Have to Check It Out Segment - White BearCash-only and very little seating (maybe none at all post-COVID..

While it doesn't mention food, many people mention it's not an issue.

  • NYC Bagels: Best Spots + Local Tips

    NYC Bagels: Best Spots + Local Tips
    2025/06/03
    Bagels are one of the most famous NYC foods and a MUST-have during your time here. Many people argue that New York is the capital of the world for bagels.Why are the bagels so good in NYC?Many people claim that the bagels in NYC are so amazing because the tap water here is considered some of the best in the world. NYC has "soft" water from the Catskill Mountains, meaning it has lower concentrations of calcium and magnesium. The mineral content in water affects the gluten in the dough. Extra hard water strengthens the gluten, which can cause tougher baked goods, meaning softer water yields softer baked goods. Some bagel experts claim the bagels are so good in NYC because of the refined bagel techniques, including longer proofing time and boiling techniques before baking. Either way, the bagels in New York City are truly second to none.Liberty Bagels4 locations in NYC. 5th Ave by the Plaza Hotel/Central Park. Midtown location by Herald Square. Fidi location. Queens location.They offer fun-flavored cream cheeses and always have rainbow bagels (plain flavor with fun colors). It also features seasonal colors, which are a fun addition. We love the BEC, works bagel, and blueberry bagel. Try the cream cheese before you commit to an entire bagel's worth of it. We recommend ordering ahead of time on weekends and holidays. Otherwise, the line takes about 30 minutes on a busy weekend morning.PopUp Bagels6 locations in NYC (some in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Long Island, NY).Ashley's new favorite bagel spot in the city!!They sell the bagels in increments of 3. For example, the smallest order is 3 bagels and 1 schmear, which is great for 2 people and costs $12.The menu is simple and they only have 5 bagel flavors (Plain, Sesame, Everything, Salt, Poppyseed). Then they have plain cream cheese, scallion, seasonal cream cheese, butter, and vegan schmear options. It's the softest and freshest bagels I've ever had, and also the best scallion cream cheese I've ever had.Pick-A-BagelPick a bagel is a solid option, and they have a few locations around the city. We like their bagels with cream cheese and their bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on everything.The ordering process can be a little chaotic, so be prepared for that.Russ & DaughtersSince 1914, this landmark NYC institution has been continuously owned and operated by four generations of the Russ family. A classic bagel establishment serving a variety of bagels, lox, pickles, and desserts. It's been open for more than a century and has 2 locations on the Lower East Side, one in Hudson Yards, and one in Brooklyn.Getting a platter can be fun if you want to sit down and have a true experience with a variety of spreads, breads, and smoked fish. If you want a bagel with lox, plan on it costing around $20. This place has a wide variety of options. You can get a regular bagel and cream cheese or you could buy caviar. I sampled the pastrami-cured smoked salmon, and it was the best of my entire life. Apollo BagelsWe haven't been here, but it is a very popular spot. Every photo, video, and review I've seen looks amazing. Only 3 bagel options (plain, everything, sesame). From what I've heard and seen online, plan on waiting in line for 30 min.General Bagel Tips-Each bagel shop has a different ordering process. Follow what others are doing and you should be fine.-Bagel shops are usually a good place to try a black and white cookie.-If you go to a deli or bodega, you can get a cheaper BEC option that will still be delicious, but it won't be made on a good bagel. -Bagel shop coffee is usually mediocre. It's fine and will do the job, but if you are a coffee connoisseur, be warned.You'll Have to Check It Out - SugarfishFairly priced, delicious omakase sushi.

  • Best Restaurants in Central Park

    Best Restaurants in Central Park
    2025/05/20

    Sprawling, beautiful Central Park must be part of your New York City explorations. When checking out Gapstow Bridge or the Balto Statue and an I've-been-walking-all-day hunger strikes, know there are some GREAT food options right in the park.

    Let's check out the best restaurants in Central Park! We'll dive into some cheap(er) options, a couple of fancy places, and even a great sandwich spot to bring into the park for a picnic.

    Let's do it. 👇

    Le Pain Quotidien

    Le Pain Quotidien has two locations physically in Central Park and several others around the city. One location by Sheep Meadow. Another location is by the Conservatory Water (closer to the Met if you want to come for breakfast/lunch before the Met).

    Both have grab and go options as well as a sit down area with table service. Very dog friendly patios and Scout loves to eat here. Everything we have had here is great and so fresh.

    Recommend: The coffee. Breakfast sandwiches, pastries, lentil soup (comes with fresh baked bread). Also sells wine and beer, and is a nice spot for a drink in the warmer weather.

    The Ballfields Cafe (The Migrant Kitchen)

    On the North side of the Heckscher Ballfields off of 65th Street.

    Opens every weekend in April and is open 7 days a week starting in May.

    The Migrant Kitchen also has a location on the UWS. Portions of every meal purchased go towards providing meals to New Yorkers in need. They have served nearly 4 million meals to food-insecure communities across NYC.

    Regular menu has hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, soft pretzels, popcorn, ice cream. They sell beer, wine, and margaritas.

    Recommend: Crispy chicken wrap and harvest lemonade. Harvest lemonade has cardamom and ginger in it.

    Central Park Boathouse

    Located right between Bethesda Terrace and The Ramble. It's basically in the middle of Central Park so plan on a long walk to get there if coming from midtown. No cars go there. 20 min walk from 7th ave and 59th St. But from 5th Ave and 72nd entrance it's a 5 min walk.

    Most romantic and expensive option. Featured in tons of movies and shows. Sex and the City, 27 Dresses, When Harry Met Sally.

    $20 starters, $30-60 entrees. $19-22 cocktails.

    Highly recommend for a splurge meal. Quintessential NYC establishment. Overlooks the lake and you can watch people rowing in the boats. Ducks swimming by... very cute!

    Central Park Boathouse Cafe

    Casual walk-up counter outside the Boathouse. They have breakfast sandwiches and pastries. For lunch, they have sandwiches, salads, hot dogs, and hamburgers. Great place to grab a breakfast sandwich and coffee in the morning.

    Highly recommend grabbing something to eat and then going and getting lost in The Ramble. The entrance is just straight up the sidewalk from the Boathouse Cafe.

    You'll Have to Check It Out - Lenwich

    4 across Manhattan, the closest to the park is 55th and 8th

    Get the Italian sandwich or Caesar Wrap and take into the park for a picnic.

    Melba's Cafe by Woolman Rink

    Mostly mediocre and overpriced food, would recommend mostly for dessert, coffee, or beer/wine.

    Tavern on the Green

    Located on 67th Street & Central Park West. Can get dropped off in a car right by the entrance.

    Originally built in 1870 to house the sheep that grazed in Central Park's Sheep Meadow. Transformed into a restaurant in 1934.

    $20ish appetizers and $30-60 entrees. Participates in "NYC Restaurant Week" twice a year (usually January/February and July/August). Happy Hour food menu & discounted cocktails, wine, and beer available at the bar counter & the lounges only.

    Tavern To Go

    Anna is a true gem of a barista and gives all the dogs little treats and places them on top of the coffee. Great drip coffee, latte, cappuccino. They also have some pre-made baked goods and sell wine & beer in the afternoons.
