Brooklyn Nets Chooses Food Service Co. For Planned Barclays Arena
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
More Barclays Center menu offerings with a "distinct Brooklyn flavor," this time from a Chicago-based food-service company:
“Brooklynites are passionate about their food and that will be a crucial ingredient for a best-in-class experience at the Barclays Center,” said Brett Yormark, president and CEO of Nets Sports and Entertainment. “We chose Levy Restaurants because it has an award-winning track record as the preeminent premium dining provider at sports and entertainment venues. This is another big step forward as we continue moving closer to bringing a world class arena and the Nets to Brooklyn.”
The Barclays Center’s premium restaurants and luxury suites will feature menus with the flair of contemporary American cuisine and diverse ethnic specialties. At general concessions, guests can enjoy a range of menu offerings with a distinct Brooklyn flavor including pizza, hot dogs, knishes, egg creams, cheesecake, and much more. There will also be kosher dining options in restaurants, suites and concession stands.
...Levy Restaurants, based in Chicago, draws upon its roots as restaurateurs to bring the restaurant dining experience to sports and arena venues across the U.S. and U.K., including the Billie Jean King USTA National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, N.Y., Churchill Downs in Louisville and the 02 arena in London.
NoLandGrab: Arena patrons might want to consider a second mortgage, if prices for the "restaurant dining experience" at the Barclays Center mirror those at the National Tennis Center.
