Some opportunities in life are just too good to pass up. A vacation in Europe, meeting a famous celebrity, or dining at a top restaurant are common aspirations, but we’ve got our eyes on something equally amazing and way more attainable. Bringing together one of the best combinations since peanut butter and jelly, Cannonball Productions at Citi Field is bringing New Yorkers the second annual Bacon and Beer Classic!
If last year’s Classic was any indication, the event, which will take place on Saturday, April 25th, is destined to be one of the tastiest events of the season…and how can it not be with two impeccable stars? The event will allow attendees to get a literal taste of history as they walk through Citi Field stadium, home of the New York Mets.
Guests will be in a feeding frenzy as they get to sample craft beers and bacon-inspired culinary treats, all prepared by local chefs. Luckily, there are two tasting sessions available, allowing more NYers to get their hands on these delicious pairings. The tasting sessions occur from 12-3pm and 7-10pm. Throughout the day and night, attendees will not only enjoy nibbling on tasty treats, but they will also enjoy live music, interactive games, beer seminars from local breweries, and even cooking demonstrations from top culinary experts. Over 50 local restaurants and breweries will be participating in this epic one day event. An all-star panel of judges, including Liza De Guia, Adam Poch, Lisa Fernandes, Derrick Prince and David “The Rev” Cancio, will eat and drink up all of the competitors and select winner in each category.
Last year, thousands of tickets sold quickly, so make sure to snap yours up right away. Ticket prices range from $29-$129 and can be purchased here.
