Last Minute Food before the
Game
If you are attending a Game or Event at one of the
Stadiums and are hungry but want something other than
the expensive stadium food. There is a Costco right
there that offers it usually 7 or 8 items that are about a
third of the cost. Another great place is the large
popular Asian market T & T, that sells many to go Asian
specialties. |
