Barclays Center looks for Brooklyn foodies to vend at new Nets arena
"Everything from pickles to pizza," say officials

While testimony in a political corruption trial in Manhattan is making it quite clear that executives at Barclays Center developer Forest City Ratner should be on trial rather than prosecution witnesses, the Daily News is across the river covering arena dining options.
The new Nets arena is searching for Brooklyn foodies to serve up their wares at its basketball games and concerts.
Barclays Center officials are distributing a survey to find borough restaurants and food service businesses that can give a little Brooklyn flavor to the new Prospect Heights arena, set to open in September.
“We are committed to bringing the best of Brooklyn to Barclays Center and to draw on the borough’s dynamic food scene,” said developer Bruce Ratner. “Our goal is cast a wide net to make Barclays Center’s culinary experience as quintessentially Brooklyn as it gets.”
NoLandGrab: "Quintessentially Brooklyn" offerings will be dominated by Coca-Cola and Budweiser.
