Baseball season is a benchmark of springtime fun in New York City, especially since it is home to two famous baseball teams. Whether your loyalty lies with the Yankees or the Mets, we can all set aside our differences and agree that baseball games are definitely a favorite pastime for most New Yorkers.

Because really, who doesn't love a beautiful day at a ballpark in NYC-- feeling amazing, enjoying food and beer, and spending quality time with loved ones?

Going to baseball games always made me feel really special and involved, but the fun doesn't stop there.

What's your favorite stadium snack? Soft pretzels? Dippin' Dots? There are a lot of options for sure, and Yankee Stadium and Citi Field are forever expanding their food options.

So skip the peanuts and Cracker Jacks and try one of these amazing treats this season at Yankee Stadium or Citi Field!

1. Pressed (Citi Field)

Opening at Citi Field this spring, Pressed will be serving up gourmet grilled cheeses overflowing with fine cheeses and toppings that vary from meaty, like pepper crusted bacon and braised short ribs, to veggie, as in their roasted vegetable panini.

2. Parm (Yankee Stadium)

Paying homage to the Bronx's Little Italy which is just a few subway stops away, Parm offers up meaty Italian subs and red sauce delights like chicken parm heroes.

Not a bad way to kick off baseball season in the Bronx, right?

---

3. Mama's of Corona (Citi Field)

Don't worry, Mets fans. You too can now enjoy those Italian combo heroes, all thanks to Mama's.

The mozzarella is fresh (and obviously the best addition to all your other choice cold cuts on your sandwiches), and you can wash down all that meaty madness with a sweet, refreshing cannoli afterward.

4. Brother Jimmy's (Yankee Stadium)

What better way to watch the Bronx Bombers play than with barbecue that kills it with a home-cooked vibe?

That's exactly what you'll get at Brother Jimmy's, and you'll want to visit it every time you attend a home game.

5. Blue Smoke (Citi Field)

Maybe you've been to one of Blue Smoke's Manhattan locations, but now, you can enjoy your favorite barbecue in the stands at Citi Field as well.

You can count on pulled pork or brisket sandwiches, cornbread, and other Southern barbecue favorites to keep your mouth watering all through Met home games.

6. Lobel's Carving Station (Yankee Stadium)

Mmmm, big juicy steak sandwiches dripping and soaked in a savory au jus. Hopefully you packed a roll of paper towels or two.

Although when it comes to steak sandwiches, the messier the better, right?

---

7. Catch of the Day (Citi Field)

With all these new additions, we just can't forget to include succulent seafood.

Especially when it comes to New England style lobster rolls and (wait for it) lobster nachos.

Yeah, devouring that perfectly-flaky lobster goodness while watching America's pastime sounds like absolute heaven!

8. Two Boots (Citi Field)

If there was any indication that pizza wouldn't be available at a New York baseball game, I would ask to make sure that we were still even in New York here, because New York is nothing without pizza.

At Two Boots, you can grab a pie that will satisfy the meatiest of meat eaters or vegetarians alike, whatever your taste in 'za might be.

9. Pig Guy NYC (Citi Field)

We'll bet you didn't think that you'd be hitting up a place called Pig Guy for dessert, now did ya? Well, that's because dessert here is bacon on a stick...covered in chocolate...served s'mores style with marshmallows.

We never saw it coming, either. But it's delicious!
