The 2024 baseball season is here, which means the return of stadium food: The range of food options at Citi Field has leveled up in recent years, and New York Mets fans can snack on plenty of old-school favorites, plus some hot newcomers this year like Comfortland and Seoul Bird. The stadium has also upped its beverage game, partnering with brands like Gin & Juice by Dre and Snoop, while also selling a range of local and national craft beers.
