Beers of the World, serving domestic and select craft beers, is all over the stadium. Prices range from $5-12 depending on the beer and size. The Malibu Rum Terrace Deck in the upper deck across from section 310 has the best variety and is less crowded than the Beers of the World vendors.
Parking alternatives at Yankee Stadium
Riding the subway is always the best option when getting around NYC. Avoid traffic and road rage by taking the B, D or 4 trains to 161 St/Yankee Stadium station.
