NYC is home to two of the top Major League Baseball (MLB) teams; the Yankees and the Mets. Tourists are very welcome at baseball games and a trip to Yankee Stadium or Citi Field is a great way to spend a laidback afternoon; soak up the atmosphere whilst sipping on a cool beer and devour an all-American hotdog.
The Yankee Stadium is located in the Bronx and is home to perhaps the most famous baseball team around. There are plenty of food and drink options on offer here. The Mets’ ballpark is over in Queens and also has a great selection of food concessions.
The regular baseball season kicks off at the end of March and runs right through until the end of September.
