I ate at Pat Lafrieda's Chop House at Citi Field. It was expensive, but the nicest lunch out I've ever had at a baseball stadium. Erin McDowell/Business Insider I traded ballpark hot dogs for an upscale steakhouse inside Citi Field. Pat LaFrieda's Chop House felt worlds away from typical stadium food. The meal, including a $215 Tomahawk steak, was pricey, but the elevated experience impressed me. When most people head to a baseball game, they expect to fill up on concession-stand hot dogs or a bucket of popcorn, washed down with an overpriced beer. However, during a recent visit to Citi Field , I skipped the concession stands and booked a reservation at Pat LaFrieda's Chop House, the full-service steakhouse tucked inside the ballpark.
