All The New Food Vendors Coming to Barclays Center This Season

By Brooklyn Magazine

When the Brooklyn Nets host the Cleveland Cavaliers on October 24 for the home opener of their 2025 regular season, fans can expect some new items gracing the menus in the halls and corridors of Barclays Center.

Today, the arena announced its latest slate of vendors, tapping local food phenoms and icons for crucial additions to the dining program on Atlantic Avenue, including a spicy rigatoni from red sauce specialist Parm, a smash burger (single or double-stacked) via the venerable 7th Street Burgers, a range of colossal cookies from the ever-essential Levain Bakery, and Jamaican patties designed by Patty Palace, a new banner from culinary star Kwame Onwuachi, the James Beard Award-winning chef behind Tatiana, which remains one of the most coveted reservations in Midtown (or, really, anywhere in the city). “At Barclays Center, we take pride in bringing uniquely New York flavors to life by collaborating with beloved local vendors who embody the city’s vibrant culinary spirit,” Chris Giacalone, Senior VP of Hospitality at Barclays, told BKMAG in a statement via email.

Speaking of the city’s culinary spirit, all of this arrives just in time to pair up with a new in-arena drink called the “Brooklyn Signature,” a spicy mango margarita inspired by a low-key local institution unto itself—the borderline ubiquitous Tajin-crusted mango slice pushcarts you can spot on any given night in any given corner of the borough.

Head over to Barclays Center to test out the new treats on opening night. Grab your tickets for the game today.
