Always Hungry: Where to Eat on the Yankees’ Opening Day
Arthur Bovino — April 13, 2010
A young fan roots on the Yanks at the Stadium in 2009.
April is the cruelest month? Ha! Shows you what T.S. Eliot knew. April means the crack of the bat! The infield fly! Frozen ropes, and of course, home runs. That’s right, with today’s game against the Angels at the Stadium at 1:05pm, the only sport that matters— baseball— is back in the Bronx.
Included below are some reminders of what to eat at Yankee Stadium if you’re going to catch a game. But with the hubbub over 2009’s new New York ballpark food having died down a bit, it seems appropriate to take a look at places to eat near to, or on the way to or back from Yankee Stadium.

Ackee and Saltfish is Jamaica’s national dish.
Salted fish and fruit. Not a combination you’d necessarily think of automatically.
What it is: A dish consisting of salted fish cooked with boiled ackee and other ingredients.
Where it’s From: Ackee and Saltfish is widely-known as Jamaica’s national dish. It’s often eaten for breakfast, or as an appetizer for lunch or dinner. Ackee is a red fruit that is a distant relative of the lychee— it’s from an evergreen tree of West African origin. The fruit bursts open to reveal the aril, an edible yellow-white flesh with black seeds. The saltfish component of the dish usually consists of salted fish, typically cod or mackerel.
