A press release from the Mets …
The Mets and Aramark today announced a partnership with Danny Meyerâs noted Union Square Hospitality Group to open food sites at Citi Field, the team’s new home in 2009. Among the dining choices Meyer’s group will offer at Citi Field are the enormously popular Blue Smoke and Shake Shack, as well as two new food concepts — a taquerÃa and a Belgian “frites” stand.
In addition, Meyer’s group will provide all food and beverage services at Citi Field’s Sterling Club, the premium-seating area for 1,600 on the Field Level directly behind home plate.
Citi Field’s outfield concourse, accessible to all ticket holders, will feature:
— Blue Smoke: The pioneer of urban âcue, Blue Smoke will offer pit barbecue. Highlights: Pulled pork sandwich and Kansas City ribs.
— Shake Shack: The enormously popular hamburger and hot dog stand that made a splash with its original location in Madison Square Park will griddle up game-day favorites. Highlights: ShackBurger and Shack-Cago Dog.
— TaquerÃa (name TBD): This new concept will feature authentic tacos.
— Pop Fries: Another new concept for Meyer, this frites stand will serve freshly cut, Belgian-style fries with a variety of dipping sauces.
The Sterling Club will feature several different dining options, including:
— Sterling Market: This casual cafe will serve classic, artisanal comfort foods.
— Sterling Beer & Wine Bar: Located inside Sterling Market, this venue will offer specialty brews and an extensive selection of wines from around the world, available by the glass or bottle.
— Sterling Dining Room: Reservations required, with limited seating for walk-in guests, it will present a small-plates menu ideally suited to game day dining.
— Sterling Bar & Lounge: Offering guests a view of the large outdoor patio and ball field, the bar and lounge will serve specialty cocktails and small bites.
— Sterling In-Seat Service: Waiter service here will feature âBest of Ballparkâ food from the outfield concourse.
