Vegan Victuals: The Blog |
Hot in the Citi tonight
My first Mets game of the season and I chowed down on two loaded veggie dogs. I may have gotten a bit over-zealous with the fixin’s stand.
Taste & Run: Citizens Bank Park’s Vegan Offerings
So what if Philadelphia sports fans have a terrible reputation… and the SEPTA subway trains are home to a human hostility I haven’t experienced in some time… and that the Phillies are whipping the Mets’ butts in the National League East… and that I had to take a certification exam to get my literacy coach [...]
Kinks in the Vegan Road: Know Your Onion
I made another visit to Citi Field recently, still pickled blue and orange that I can enjoy a hot dog and a beer and watch the game. Though I had originally intended to supplement my Vegan at Citi Field report from June with some information on the stand-alone booths (zeppole, kettle corn, etc.), I got [...]
More Than Peanuts & Crackerjacks: Vegan at Citi Field
Ah, the emergence of the mainstream health-conscious movement, helping to increase the demand for veg-friendly food amongst the meat-heavy American fare of sports venues, I thank you. Your reasons are far more socially-acceptable… yes, the size of our behinds truly is more important than the the welfare of millions of animals. But allow my veganism [...]
Dear World,
Dear Birds, I know it’s been awhile since you’ve all seen each other and all but can you please use your inside chirps in the morning. You’d think my apartment building was constructed in those seeds they make bells out of the way you guys flock to my window. Dear Columbia University academic regalia, The [...]
Vegan Report: Nationals Stadium
I had previously read on some website (Ok, here) that the Washington Nationals stadium offers vegan options: veggie dogs, veggie burgers and veggie chili, too! But Saturday, June 6, 2009 they had nothing of the sort. Concession employees at the Grand Slam Grill told me that they were selling veggie dogs last season but not [...]
Vegan Report: Citi Field
I took my first trip to the new stadium of the Mets this past Saturday for their Take Her Out To The Ballgame day. The new stadium is nice, save for the small Times Square peeking high into the sky ’round its perimeter. It’s a brand new stadium so it is fresh and clean. And [...]
Viva Shea!
Today’s Mets vs. Marlins game may be the last game played in New York’s Shea Stadium. I say “may” because it is my hope that they’ll be playing the Milwaukee Brewers in sudden death as they’re both tied for the National League wildcard. This is exciting on many levels, mostly because I’ve cheered the Brewers [...]
Baseball Cute
Although I have long held the position of official family weirdo, there are some genes one cannot escape. My mother gave me defined eye brows, long slender fingers and a love for the New York Mets. This dominant trait, passed to her from her own mother, an avid baseball fan, was also passed to my [...]
“Andre Agassi Is Totally Mint”
…says me at 13. His two-tone mullet had my tween heart a flutter and my VHS’s of his matches were my most coveted items (maybe because they faced constant over-dubbing fears from my brothers’ Royal Rumbles and Wrestlemanias and my sister’s Days of Our Lives). Watching his tearful goodbye at the US Open a few [...]
