Citifield has my favorite drink at a baseball game. Yup I really did just say that.
Since I'm a big beer drinker my favorite drink at Citifield. Although I am a big Yankees fan (and you can tell from my previous blogs) Citifield has Big Apple Brews located on the field level and the upper deck level. The one on field level is located a not too far from Shake Shack. The one on the upper deck level is located in the picnic area up there. Their Big Apple Brews has a very complete list of beers in my eyes. Whenever I got to a Mets game with my boyfriend I always get the Raspberry Shock Top.
Shock Top has become my new favorite Beligum wheat beer. I've also tried Slyfox Raspberry beer, but I like Shock Top's version of raspberry beer much better. I like wheat beer because it's a lighter beer and it's very smooth. I'm not a fan of dark beers, but I will drink them occasionally or when I am in the mood for one.
I've tried to get Raspberry Shock Top at other places I go to, but I can't find it. Looks like my best bet to get this beer is either at Citifield or at a beer distributor. Also at Big Apple Brews they have almost every kind of beer there.
So if you're a beer drinker like myself I would highly recommend getting your beers here when you go to the game. So if you go and try it please let me know how it goes. Not everyone is going to like it so drink at your own risk.
Happy Drinking!!!

Recap of the Weekend, Friday June 14th
Since I was really busy last weekend each day is getting their own blog. It's great to keep busy because then I'll have more things to write about, but the biggest problem I have is finding the time to write. Therefore I realize I'll have delays from time to time, but will try to avoid it if I can.
So of course my weekends starts at 1PM every Friday. I make sure I come in to work early and get everything off my plate. I hate having to start the week with things to do from the previous week.
After work I rushed home because I had a long day ahead of me. I was to take my baby sister out for sushi, take her home then go to a Mets game with my boyfriend. After the game the band Foreigner was performing. It all worked out at the end though.
So for lunch I went to Queens Center Mall to eat sushi at Kido Sushi. you sit at either a table or sushi bar and there's a conveyor belt that has all the sushi dishes on them. The prices go by the color of the plate. The cheapest plate is the white plate at $2 and the most expensive plate are the oranges ones at $6. They also offer regular rolls too, but I wanted to try all the fatty rolls on the belt. Some of them were deep fried or had more than one fish in the roll. This wasn't the first time I've eaten sushi like this. I went to a restaurant like this a long time ago when I went to Australia. So I was familiar with the concept of the place. Once my sister and I got full we left the mall so I could take her home. It was a nice afternoon lunch spent with her. I would've put up a picture, but we were so hungry that we forgot to take them.
Once I dropped her at home I had to get ready for the Mets game. I didn't get there too late, but my boyfriend is the type who likes to be at places an hour before it starts. When I finally got to the game it was about 6:30PM and the game started at 7:10PM.
Once at Citifield we got pulled pork sandwiches from Blue Smoke. The sandwich was about $8, but it was worth it. They had the right amount of pork on it and you really did get your money's worth. After eating our sandwiches we went to the big beer stand on the upper deck level. I tried this raspberry wheat beer that Top Shock makes and it was amazing. So far this is my favorite raspberry flavored beer. So after eating and getting our beers we went to our seats to watch the game. We didn't stay in our seats during the whole game of course we walked around and got more snacks and did some shopping. I got cookie dough dipping dots, but next time I'm getting cookies & cream because there was very little cookie dough in the cup I got. That day the Mets were playing against the Cubs and unfortunately they lost the game.
Duane Reade sponsors the Summer Concerts that they have after the game and as you're waiting for it to begin they tell you to go down to any available seats in your section for the concert. It took about twenty minutes for the stage to get set up and Foreigner was pretty good. I only knew a couple of songs, but it was definitely a good time. Hopefully Yankee Stadium does some Summer Concerts, that'd be really good. The next Summer Concert at Citifield is July 19th and if you're a fan of hip hop you'll want to go to this one. Nas is going to be performing after the game, and growing up I've listened to him, so you know I'm going to try and get tickets to that game just for the concert. It's worth going because the concert lasts about an hour and a half, so that's not bad at all.
That was my Friday night in a nutshell. Saturday was just as busy and hopefully this summer I'll be able to do everything on my bucket list. If only summer could last a little longer, but I think it might this year since it took awhile for the weather to get warm.
I hope you enjoyed the blog : )
