New York Mets Baseball
Begin the long weekend with a Mets game at Citi Field. Not only does it promise to be an exciting match off as the Mets take on the Miami Marlins, but the ambiance at Citi Field ensures that there is fun for everyone from the beginning of the game to the very end (with fireworks). Voted as having the best stadium food for the past few years, you will for sure enjoy the offerings as well. Dining guide: https://www.mlb.com/mets/ballpark/citi-field-dining-guide
