Da' Bronx!







My husband & I headed to Yankee Stadium last Friday for the first time since the Bombers moved into their new digs. We were not disappointed.

The Stadium is all you imagine it to be. Grand, majestic and packed with representations of Yankee history. But I am here to talk about the food.

The park has many offerings - everything from sushi to made-to-order nachos, they have it all. But don't look for a cover on your soda cup (we were told the Stadium does not use them). Weird.

For this inaugural visit, we sat in the Mohegan Sun Sports Bar. Passes are necessary for admission to the club and tickets are required to sit in seats, which are angled in rows for easy viewing. Cool view, to say the least.
The menu is lacking in choices, especially for a couple of vegetarians. We ordered a bunch of appetizers. Each was served fast and more importantly, hot. A beer will set you back $10. Insanity, yes, but you can't watch a game without one.
The place is cool and worth the $90. ticket to sit in the A/C on a hot steamy night. Audio is streamed in through HD TV's above, so you won't miss one second of Michael Kay-ism.

The only minus is the room is soundproof, which takes you out of the Stadium hoopla.
And that, my friends, is a big drawback!
