It's embarrassing how long it's been since I actually went to a game. Sheesh. What kind of food+sports reporter am I if I never go? a crappy one.
today I actually got on the PATH train and went to The Rock (aka the Prudential Center) in Newark. A cold and sunny day, a perfect winter day for some Devils hockey. TFMJ and I and a friend figured we'd get tickets at the box office. We didn't realize that Kids Jersey Giveaway Day would mean No Cheap Seats. By the time we arrived the only tickets left were for $95 seats. Yikes!
We stepped out of line to discuss. We walked around the building in search of scalpers. Nothing. We asked some secuity guards, ticket-takers, and even a sort of manager about maybe getting half-price tickets after the first period. Nope.
Then a friendly fan mentioned The Arena Bar, one block from The Rock. "It's where all the Devils fans go," he said. So we went to check it out.
By now you probably realize that my headline is misleading. I did go TO to a live game, but I did not actually go IN.
I did, however, find a perfect Scoreboard Gourmet location:
The Arena Bar
218 Mulberry St
Newark, NJ 07102
t: 973-621-2120
Good beer, mellow crowd (at least During the game), good wings, tenders, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, many TV's showing the Devils (and Carvel-eating kids inside)...what more can you ask for?
and if I ever find that dang cord I can upload a picture or two.
what did YOU eat at the Devils game?
