What Might You Eat at a Brooklyn Nets Game?
Grub Street [New York Magazine]
When the basketball arena opens on the Atlantic Yards site in 2010(ish), Nets fans can expect a mythic Brooklyn foodscape. "There will be counters and stands with knishes, pizza, hot dogs, egg creams, cheesecake — the goal is really to provide a distinct Brooklyn flavor," promises arena spokesman Barry Baum. Never mind that Levy Restaurants, a Chicago-based subsidiary of a British company that plies the USTA Center in Queens, is running the concessions. (Tennis fans now enjoy such traditional Flushing dishes as “Blistered Corn Soup” and “Pan-Seared Amish Chicken.”) An on-site kitchen (and separate kosher kitchen) will maintain local flavor, promises Baum.
NoLandGrab: Does Barry Baum mean "local flavor" like that of the "exclusive carbonated soft drink and bottled water provider" to the Barclays Center, locally Seattle-based Jones Soda Company?
