The Mets' new baseball stadium will be a culinary destination as well.
The team said Wednesday that the new Queens stadium, Citi Field, will include a Blue Smoke restaurant and a Shake Shack stand when it opens next spring.
Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group's other offerings will include a taqueria and Belgian-style fries with dipping sauces.
The award-winning restaurateur also will open the Sterling Club, which will provide premium seating and views of home plate; a bar and lounge, and a cafe serving comfort foods.
The Mets' longtime food and beverage provider, Aramark, will manage all of its concessions, retail stores, kiosks and luxury suites.
