That was actually there second location. lines are a little shorter.

But..why don't we have a Grimaldi's at Citi? long running sponsors with those other places? (the pizza in Citi is actually pretty good. so is the lasagna.) Grimaldi's is another place that's expanding (Vegas, Hoboken) . I had margarita style pizza like that cooked in a makeshift oven on a sidewalk in brooklyn last weekend, so i'm sure they could do that at Citi Field.

Yep. And this isn't the sort of organization that wantonly screws over its business partners.

Yes - right across from the Museum of Natural History.

Yeah, I know. Was just grumbling obliquely about their setting up prominent shop at Nationals Park.

So far the New York City Marathon still takes place in New York

As good a reason as any to bring Ben's Chili and Primanti's to Citi Field.

I'd take SF garlic fries and Chickie and Petes personally. Or add a good cheesesteak (doesn't have to be those 'just as good as most random places in NY' places from Philly)

Tony Luke's Roast Pork Italian-- con sharp provolone and garlic sauteed broccoli rabe-- is the real Philly sammich winner, if we're poaching.

While we're fantasizing, gimme a nice dumpling purveyor; I mean, Lord, Flushing's right there.

So overrated it's not funny. Orlando's Cha Cha Bowl way better.

I think they have Geno's at C.B Park -- last time I was there was 2007 so may have changed.

But the best ballpark food I've had outisde Citi was the Chili at Nats Park - by a long, long way.
