The Barclays Center: Kulushkät
Please lord, if you’ve already splurged on tickets for Beyoncé’s The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, don’t waste the rest of your hard earned money on obscenely costly food from the Barclays Center. Especially since many local restaurants rely on their proximity to the flashy new arena. Of course, eateries from as far away as Clinton Hill currently tout themselves as ideal pre-show options, so we’re narrowing our focus to spots that are actually within five minutes walking distance. And the gourmet falafel shop, Kulushkät, is about as tasty and healthy as fast food gets, with dishes like Chicken Shawarma, Eggplant a la Yafa, Israeli Salad and four kinds of falafel (go for the Gilly, with spinach and mushroom), all clocking in at around $6. Which is important, because you know you’re going to end up ordering at least one dearly priced beverage (ahem, water is $4.50), while shaking your jelly along with Beyoncé.
