The rivalry between the Yankees and Mets runs deep — all the way down to their concession stands. This season’s food fight promises to be fiercer than ever, thanks to a bunch of buzzy new offerings.
Here’s the play-by-play of what’s out there and where to find it:
DESSERT
Yankee Stadium
Grand Slam Shakes (above left, $15). The stadium’s tricked-out milkshakes are made to be shared — on social media and with at least two other people, unless you have an unusually high sugar tolerance. Pepsi Food Court, section 125
Citi Field
Hong Kong Egg Waffles à la mode (above right, $12). These crispy-edged waffles, served plain from Chinatown street carts, come topped with ice cream and all kinds of crazy toppings. Even Mr. Met is a fan. Wowfulls, section 121
CHICKEN
Yankee Stadium
General Tso’s Chicken Sandwich (above left, $12). The takeout classic gets gussied up in spicy-sweet sandwich form. Noodle Bowls, Section 127
Citi Field
Lil’ Chicken & Waffles (above right, $12.50). Brooklyn-born Sweet Chick, which serves Southern food and counts hip-hop star Nas as an investor, dishes out mini versions of its famous chicken and waffles. Bring wet wipes. Lil’ Sweet Chick, Jim Beam Highball Club on the Promenade Level
SAUSAGE
Yankee Stadium
Beyond Sausage (above left, $12). Made by the same company that pioneered the meat-free “bleeding” burger, these vegan sausages actually taste like the real deal. Bareburger, section 132
Citi Field
The Alpine Brat (above right, $13). Neon yellow, industrial-strength nacho cheese is for suckers. These savory sausages are loaded with freshly scraped and gooey raclette. Baked Cheese Haus, Jim Beam Highball Club on the Promenade Level
