Home PLATE: Taking a Swing at National Salad Month

2010-05-05T16:31:00.000-07:00

May is officially National Salad Month. Yes. This was news to me as well and thusly explains the cosmically strong forces pulling me toward leafy greens. In honor of this retreat to the fibrous, wholesome, collective wonder (and our failing tribute to the METS week,) we bring you the eating green at Citifield Guide.

Mama's of Corona does indeed have a good option for the leafy green, veggie minded fan (and probably still the best option in the park for a vegetarian). Here you can find a fresh mozz sandwich with the roasted veggies. Just beware that it can be very oily if they are down to the bottom of the bowl for their veggies. They usually make it fresh so you can ask that they "shake off" or whatever the veggies if you prefer.

They also have a mozz/tom/basil salad. That’s right an actual salad right here in Citifield.

Available at regular food concessions stands at Citi Field: Veggie Hot Dogs and Veggie Burgers. Both the veggie dog and burger are at the stands marked "Burgers and Dogs" and they weren't just out, I had to ask and they brought one out hot.

You can also get a Veggie Delite (their spelling) at Subway in the ballpark.

Since 1998, Daruma of Tokyo Sushi has provided their delicately crafted sushi to the Mets. Special to Citifield is the Citi Field All Star Shrimp Dog, 100 percent pure shrimp in natural casing served on a roll topped with a special sauce. They sometimes have veg “shushi.” Daruma is located in World’s Fare Market, Field Level in right field where you can also find fresh fruit and snacks.

Minus being smothered in cheese, corn on the cob can be considered a healthier option to the meat heavy concessions. At the Taqueria you can find corn on the cob (on a stick) with cheese and chili powder. And, it’s smothered in cheese.

The Stadium now has glutton free fare!

Kozy Shack has always been gluten-free, but now they're partnered with the Mets to sponsor an entire Gluten-Free Concessions Stand at Mets games. It’s on the Field Level, near section 108 (right field). They sell their standard puddings - chocolate, vanilla, rice, and tapioca - plus their new simply well products, and something called La Tradicionale, which is cinnamon rice pudding. They also offer gluten-free hot dogs, sausages, and hamburgers in gluten-free buns. And, gluten-free beer. Granted, this is not in the salad/veggie category, but good to know that the establishment is making an attempt to offer something for everyone’s dietary needs.

GO METS!

The following blog is an excellent source for planning your MBL eating adventures:http://www.scoreboardgourmet.com/mets/

This is all pretty exciting yes? SO what else?

Where to Eat at Citi Field: The Crucial Culinary Map from NYMAG

Left to right: Drew Nieporent's Acela Club, DannyMeyerLand, and Dave Pasternack's

We now bring you a rundown of where to eat. The ballpark offers quite a few options — and many more if you're paying for premium seats. Here's the breakdown (omitting obvious offerings, like hot-dog stands and the Dippin' Dots cart):

The view from Taste of the City. Photo: Ben Leventhal

Taste of the City a.k.a. DannyMeyerLand®

—This area is behind the center-field wall, and includes field-view seating and jumbo screens to catch play-by-play while waiting in line.

—Concessions: Shake Shack, Blue Smoke, El Verano Taqueria, Box Frites, Nonna's Deli (pasta and pizza), Big Apple Brews (every beer you've ever heard of).

Shake Shack Advice: Go After the Fifth

Photo: Getty Images

Reports of the line at Citi Field’s Shake Shack have started coming in: “Incredibly long,” “stretched all the way to Jones Beach,” and “outrageous. If you wanted a burger from the Shake Shack in the first inning you might be eating it by the time the closer is warming up.” Actually, one of our commenters put the potential wait at two innings. A stadium rep tells us the wait doesn’t get much longer than twenty minutes, and dispenses a word of advice: Go after the fifth inning, when the crowds die down. In the meantime, there are plenty of other things to nosh on.

Catch of the Day
—Technically it's part of DannyMeyerLand®, but Dave Pasternack's seafood stand is separate from the rest of the area, much farther to the right-field corner of the field level.

—Lobster rolls ($17), Long Island clam-and-corn chowder and fried-flounder sandwiches and such are on offer here.

Citifield's new addition: crabcake sandwich
Another Dave Pasternack Home Run

Delta Sky360 Club
—These VIP lounges are scattered throughout the stadium, but the most serious of them is behind home plate on the "Sterling Level." It's run by Union Square Hospitality Group and offers a bar, plus café-style sandwiches and coffee; on the third-base side there's a proper restaurant.

—Coolest thing in the stadium: The club has a window (above) that looks into the Mets underground batting cages, so that real fans can watch players warm up before they're even on the field. Hot.

The real reason to open a restaurant at Citi Field: You get your own authentic Mets uni. Photo: Ben Leventhal

Acela Club
—Enter Drew Nieporent, whose Myriad Restaurant Group is managing this restaurant with tables that have fantastic field views.

—The executive chef of Acela is Michael Sobelman, previously of Tribeca Grill.

—Anyone with field box seats or better can make a reservation at the 350-seat venue.

—Opens 2:45 before game time.

—Speaking of which, HERE'S THE RESY LINE: 718-565-4333.

—This is the sit-down option you want to pay closest attention to.

World's Fare Market
—Located on the field level in right field, this is the least articulated of Citi's food offerings, but it's roughly a takeout market.

—Grill food (think chicken and burgers) is on offer here.

—NB: This is the only place in the stadium to get sushi.

Day One - MART Recommends: FENCES

2010-05-03T12:14:00.000-07:00

Denzel is “swinging from the heels,” a performance that is sure to make this run a “dinger.”

Description
Denzel Washington headlines the first Broadway revival of August Wilson’s drama about an ex-ballplayer trying to maintain his dignity in pre–civil-rights Pittsburgh. Kenny Leon (Radio Golf) directs this production of Wilson’s beloved 1985 work also featuring Viola Davis, Stephen McKinley Henderson and Chris Chalk. When

Ok. Admittedly, this recommendation is a little obvious, as it is a play specifically about baseball and a man's missed chance at the Majors. Apologies dear reader, it is day one after a long weekend; during which we are convinced the sun stole our energy to singe the streets of Brooklyn. With pinked cheeks and a lazy constitution, day one brings you our favorites in Baseball drama, comedies, dramadies, etc.

Best Baseball Documentary

Baseball by Ken Burns --1994

This documentary is an obvious labor of love. By using old-time photographs, illustrations to more recent newsreels and video clips, the Players, broadcasters, fans, and he all contribute to show the different perspectives of the game. A historically accurate love song that walks the game through it's development into modernity. A must-see for anyone that has ever been a fan of the game.

Some feature-length baseball films of mention:

The Sandlot (1993) -- Starring James Earl Jones

The Bad News Bears (1976) -- Starring Walter Matthau

Angels In The Outfield (1994) -- Starring Danny Glover, Christopher Lloyd

The Rookie (2002) -- Starring Dennis Quaid In the true story of how Jim Morris made it to the

major leagues.

For Love of The Game (1999) -- Starring Kevin Costner and Kelly Preston

The Babe (1992) -- Starring John Goodman and Kelly McGillis

Major League (1989) -- Starring Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes, Tom Berenger, and Rene Russo

Bang The Drum Slowly (1973) -- Starring Michael Moriarty and Robert DeNiro

This was a remake of an earlier version of a movie by the same title. It follows a New York Pro baseball team, and two of its players as they go through a long season.

Angels In The Outfield (1951) -- Starring Aloysius McGovern and Jennifer Paige

We have all seen the Disney version of this movie, but back in 1951, the story was done to perfection. Janet Leigh stars as the reporter.

Bull Durham (1988) -- Starring Kevin Costner, Tim Robbins, and Susan Sarandon

A minor league pitcher is coming up through the leagues, and needs someone to guide him through the tough times of being a paid ball-player.

Eight Men Out (1988) -- Starring John Cusack, Charlie Sheen, and D.B. Sweeney

The dark underbelly of baseball show through a drama about The Chicago White Sox 1919 post season.

A League of Their Own (1992) -- Starring Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, and Madonna

Pride of the Yankees (1942) -- Starring Gary Cooper and Teresa Wright

This movie is a Biopic that traces the life of Lou Gehrig, a famous New York Yankee baseball player who played in 2130 consecutive games before dieing at age 37 from a deadly nerve disease, which now bears his name.

Bingo Long and the Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings (1976) -- Starring Billy Dee Williams, James Earl Jones, and Richard Pryor

Field of Dreams (1989) -- Starring James Earl Jones, Kevin Costner, and Ray Liotta

The Natural (1984) -- Starring Robert Redford, Glenn Close, and Robert Duvall

Robert Redford plays Roy Hobbs, a player with no past, who suddenly appears and starts hitting home-runs for the New York Knights.

We would like to include Park Slope's answer to the industrial Beergarden. They have managed to make concrete, bricks and steel feel comfortable drinking spot.

Mission Dolores: Spend an easy breezy time this summer at the new industrial beergarden in Park Slope. Enjoy the outdoor "backyard," which sits in the Mission's middle, like a courtyard, while sipping one of their constantly rotating selection of 20 hearty American and European craft brews on tap, or beating the high score on the Indiana Jones pinball machine. 249 4th Ave. (at Carroll St.), Park Slope (718) 399-0099

MART Recommends: BROOKLYN BASED

2010-04-20T11:23:00.000-07:00

Brooklyn Based

As a loyal subscriber, I confidently support the offerings and suggestion BB recommends. Tried and true listings about everything Brooklyn life has to offer in food, events, arts, music, etc., subscribers receive an eye opening experience 3 times a week.

Below is a recent post: an outdoor drinking cheat Sheet. We couldn't have said it better ourselves. (We fear for our livers in this warm weather.)

Since it’s 4/20 today we thought we’d bring you a guide to our favorite jones: outdoor drinking. When the warm weather finally hits Brooklyn we just want to go and sit in a backyard or on a patio and drink a cocktail or a cold Busch. We did a similar guide a few years ago, but this is a massive update with all different places, organized by neighborhood. Between the two, you’ll never be at a loss the next time someone says, “You want to get a drink outside somewhere?” These are some of our favorites, but by no means is this an exhaustive list. Add your boozy besties in the comments.And stay tuned for a round up of great outdoor dining spots.

Greenpoint

t.b.d.: The interior has a sort of Euro disco feel to it, but the backyard is enormous with tons of picnic tables and consistently good food by guest chefs working their outdoor kitchen. Great beer selection to boot. 224 Franklin St., 718-349-6727

Black Rabbit: Two long picnic tables dominate the back garden so you’ll probably end up sharing your space–a good way to meet a cute stranger. Garden closes at 10 p.m. 91 Greenpoint Ave., 718-349-1595

Diamond Bar: Possibly the only backyard where you can drink German, Belgian, Austrian, or American craft beer inside a gondola. It also happens to be the starting point of our Total Franklin Street Immersion on May 15. 43 Franklin St., 718-383-5030

Williamsburg

Daddy’s: No, this isn’t a leather bar. It’s a solid whiskey and shot joint with a moderately-sized outdoor area, hot dogs/tofu pups and a lot of bad fashion choices on parade. 435 Graham Ave., 718-609-6388

Trophy Bar: The picnic tables in the back get packed tight pretty quickly on weekend nights, but the bloody marys are totally worth the squeeze. 351 Broadway, 347-227-8515
*** a mart favorite and locale for future events (Saturday, April 24th afternoon party!)

The Woods: Big backyard, tasty taco truck, $5 beer plus shot specials, shot and pickleback specials and live music. Divey awesomeness in a nutshell; 48 S 4th St., 718-782-4955

Soft Spot: Sweet two-for-one happy hour deals and a lovely garden. 128 Bedford Ave., 718-384-7768

***Not forgetting Union Pool with it's fire pit and taco truck, or East River Bar with it's down and dirty, full BBQ, picnic backyard.

*** We would like to add***
Sweet Up's: There is a secret outdoor space. The entrance to this secret garden is dangerously found through a door in the men's room. Shhhh. 277 Graham Ave (between Grand St & Powers St), 718-384-3886

Harefield Road: Large back patio where you can enjoy a variety of eggs and brunchy items on the weekend. 769 Metropolitan Ave., (Between Graham Avenue and Humboldt Street), 718-388-6870

Berry Park: Large Beer Garden type space with a roof patio complete with beautiful river views and a voyeur's look into the towering, glass enclosed condos (owned by people with more money than you.) Do not envy their fortresses of solitude; you have beer, sunshine and it's enough. 4 Berry Street (@N14th), 718-782-2829

Iona's: they have a beautiful heated garden features a brick smokin’ BBQ, a ping pong table, shade in the Summer and warming wood burning stoves in the Winter. The best part is chasing after that little white ball as it hides under tables of smirking beer drinkers. 180 Grand Street (between 1st St & Bedford Ave, 718-384-5008

********************************************************

Bushwick/East Williamsburg

Duck Duck: Just like sitting outside when they open up the sliding doors, so not a smoker’s paradise, but that’s a bonus for many folks. 161 Montrose Ave

Roberta’s: In addition to a radio station, a rooftop garden and a dining area, Roberta’s has a tiki bar in the back, that serves only a small bar menu, no food necessary. Sorry, no umbrella drinks. Open now. 261 Moore St., 718-417-1118

*** mart dreams, dirty dirty dreams, about Roberta's pizza and microbrews. mmmm

Bed-Stuy

Parlour: Huge back garden that is screaming out for a movie night this summer. 742 Myrtle Ave., 347-497-0550

Therapy Wine Bar: This east Bed Stuy wine bar opened last fall and has an outdoor seating area for summer sips. 364 Lewis Ave., 718-513-0686

Flatbush

Sycamore: Beautiful backyard, plus come on, it’s a bar, with live music in a flower shop. What’s not to love? 1118 Cortelyou Road, 347-240-5850

Carroll Gardens/Cobble Hill/Boerum Hill

Building on Bond: Civilized sidewalk seating on a leafy Boerum Hill corner; plus, $3 Sixpoints and other drafts during happy hour. 112 Bond St., 347-853-8687

Apt 138: Great white and red sangria, an all-day happy hour during the week (attention maintenance drinkers), and good buybacks in a beautiful backyard. 138 Smith St., 718-858-0556

Last Exit: Grill up your own BBQ in the garden. 136 Atlantic Ave., 718-222-9198
*** Excellent DJs on every 3rd Thursday of the month. Check out RHTL!

Abilene: South Carroll Gardens staple for sidewalk seating, and rightly so–you could fit an army (of drinkers) out here. 442 Court St., 718-522-6900
Slope

Mission Dolores: World’s most brilliant conversion of an auto shop. Big courtyard, 24 beers on tap, pinball, dogs. 249 Fourth Ave., no phone

Commonwealth: A neighborhoody bar with a good juke box and a sweet patio. 497 5th Ave., 718-768-2040

The Gate : An easy place to watch Park Slope stroll up and down 5th Avenue. Large patio, lots of beers. 321 5th Ave., 718-768-4329

Excelsior: Very cute back deck and garden, filled with cute gay men. (390 Fifth Ave., 718-832-1599)

At Ginger’s, the lesbian bar near by, the garden is more spacious and the vibe more laid back. 363 5th Ave., 718-788-0924

O’Connors: Lovable dive with bottled beer, stiff drinks and a huge backyard that’s a relatively new addition to this north Slope staple. 39 5th Ave, 718-783-9721

*** We would like to Add***

4th Avenue Pub: Outdoor garden, 26 beers on tap, ms pacman, and free popcorn dinner: it's love. 76 Fourth Ave., nr. Bergen St., 718-643-2273

********************************************************

Fort Greene

Alibi: Don’t let the dungeon like entrance confuse you, go past the dark bar and pool table and head to the spacious backyard. DIY barbeque and Big Buck Hunter (inside); 242 Dekalb Ave, 718-783-8519

Stonehome Wine Bar: For those nights when you want a glass of wine, not a hipster dive. 87 Lafayette Ave., 718-624-9443

***not forgetting Habana Outpost and Rope (with a grill in back for your personal BBQ needs)

Prospect Heights

Washington Commons: This mellow neighborhood bar is ideal for hanging out with beer-loving friends (lots of Belgians to try) on a sunny Saturday. 748 Washington Ave., 718-230-3666

Sunset Park

Brooklyn’s Tiki Bar: Well, it’s a tiki bar, complete with fruity drinks and lots of grass-fringed decorations, inside and out. Why not? 885 4th Ave; 718-768-2797

Fort Hamilton

Lone Star Bar and Grill: One of our friends said this south Brooklyn sports bar has the best burger in Brooklyn and an awesome patio. Sounds good to us. 8703 5th Ave., 718-833-5180

Windsor Terrace/South Slope

South: We’ll admit it, we haven’t been here yet, but we’ve been hearing that it’s a great neighborhood place with cheap drinks and small backyard. Did we get it right? 629 5th Avenue; 718-832-4720

Quarter: Signature cocktails, DUB pies to snack on and a patio with a BBQ (pictured above); 676 5th Ave; 718-788-0989.

The Lowlands: Its in Gowanus/South Slope 3rd Ave @ 14th St. They have a patio! Its a new bar by the owners of Abilene.

***I was very happy to see this pop up from the wasteland of highway, fast food, car garages & gas stations. All the bands who rehearse at Flood Studios rejoice!

Red Hook

We talked about Home/Made, Ice House and Moonshine in our recent Red Hook Day Trip II, and we stand by those choices for ocean breezy outdoor drinking in Red Hook. Home/Made: 293 Van Brunt St., 347 223-4135; Ice House: 318 Van Brunt St., 718-222-1865; Moonshine, 317 Columbia St., 718-852-8057

Coney Island

Ruby’s: Ok this one is obvious–if you’ve been to Coney Island you walked by Ruby’s. It’s still one of the best seats for people watching in all of Brooklyn. 1213 Boardwalk Way, 718-372-9079

on the RACKS

2010-04-17T13:06:00.000-07:00

Target has already announced the next designer in their Go International series: Tucker by Gaby Basora.

The above photo is from Tucker's Spring 2010 collection. We expect the bold prints and simple cuts will fit right into Target's mass appeal/audience.

Expect to see a lot of bold prints as we head into this season's outdoor festivals/shows. Bold patterns and Americana are big right now. (Other big stories for spring/summer: stripes, sexy military, neutrals [including the little white dress,] peddle pushers, and [as always] Denim.)

What to wear, what to wear... Don't worry we will be here to talk you through it.

See you on the streets of Brooklyn. Yes, that's a promise...and a threat. We will be watching.

"This curiously monikered electro-pop wunderkind makes intelligent dance music influenced by cerebral New York disco types like Talking Heads and LCD Soundsystem..."

mart is currently obsessed with New York singer, musician, producer and remixer Chris Glover aka Penguin Prision.

Animal, Animal – written and produced with his friend Noah Loha and recorded with mostly analogue equipment – while so bubbly it almost pops, has a detailed quality and rich tones that works with small and large speakers alike. It's been compared with everyone from Hot Chip to 1980s Howard Jones, and in a way Glover rescues naff electronica and gives it a cool makeunder. Faster and equally quirky-funky is A Funny Thing, which appears to feature a banjo riff but, Glover's vocal ranges superbly from low gruff rumble to girly falsetto while the song skips along.

The buzz: "He has the voice of an angel and is the best guitar player I know. He can do an amazing Aaron Neville impression. He's the total package, a one-man pop machine!"

Look for some hot jams next Friday at the Get Down Riot Dance party at Bruar Falls.
