Her Take: I had heard about
Mad Sq. Eats from two fellow classmates and I've also seen tons of Instagram posts about it, so I KNEW we had to go. Mad Sq Eats takes place in Madison Square Park in Flatiron and there are a BUNCH of food vendors there so you can basically have it all! Finally on a Wednesday, we didn't know what to do so I suggested Mad Sq. Eats after work. It was really a great time; Nicky and I met up around 7:30 and we walked together to Madison Square Park, we saw lights and a bunch of stands and we walked right in. First stand I saw was Roberta's Pizza. PIZZA! I WANTED. so we got that first, a small margherita pie split between the two of us. Then we moved to the next stand, we got Korean tacos. I got the pork taco and Nicky the beef taco. Next I got a pork bun and then a mini rice ball. Yes, I ate more than Nicky.. Then we both got tortas from a Mexican stand, torta means sandwich by the way. Then we walked around and stopped to buy some chocolate to take home and then we saw an empanada stand. WE HAD TO GET THEM. I got the pulled pork empanada and Nicky the Queso empanada. Both were very good but mine was the best ;)
We went around again and decided to spilt a crepe- nutella and banana crepe! it was reallyyyy good. And then I got a Thai Iced Tea Bubble Tea. Afterwards, Nicky got a cinnamon pretzel and we left and sat on a park bench and chatted.
Yea, so I ate like a fat. But I thought it was a fun time! I have to say the best thing I ate was my Pulled Pork Empanada. All the food was different and fun to try and taste! I highly recommend going to Mad Sq Eats! Unfortunately the Mad Sq Eats location was only until October 2nd :(! (sorry it too k so long to get this post up) But Urban Space, the company that runs these park food vendor events, has different locations as well that you should try out! The Garment District Market is running until October 17th!! CHECK IT OUT
It was something different! A different take on date night, and I loved it!
His Take: If you do not know by now, Ariana and I love to eat. Seriously, we blogged about plenty of food places, so food is our expertise. Ariana and I were looking for something different, something to really quench our appetites, just one thing would not cut it! I believe it was Instagram and classmates that led Ariana to Madison Square Eats, and am I glad it did!
So Madison Square Eats, to sum up, was a group of different food vendors kind enough to assemble in Madison Square Park for your eating pleasure! Perfect thing to satisfy our appetites, all different things!
We started with a personal pie from Roberta's, as expected it was delicious. Pizza is Ariana's favorite food so we had to start there! Next up, Korean Tacos, from Soul Lee Korean BBQ. I got a beef taco and Ariana a pork taco. The beef itself was good, but the soft taco shell was bluish-purple and was falling apart, a little disappointing but solid. Ariana's pork taco seemed the same. On to another Korean place, were we order just a pork bun, which is, you guessed it a slab of park in a bun. Really disappointed in this pork bun, because our last korean pork bun, from Bann (see blog) was amazing, this one could not shine the other bun's shoes! Next stop, Mexicue, which sounds like heaven, a combination of Mexican and BBQ food. Ordered 1 of each, the chicken sandwich and the braised beef. These things were really messy and like sloppy joes, but they were good. Not great, but good. Arincini Brother's glad you were up next. We grabbed an original rice ball, small of course, which I regret, and it was amazing. Very good. Finally we reached around the bend, walk passed some stands and found an empanada stand. I wish I could remember what the name of this stand was because it was by far the best stand we tried. We got a cheese empanada which wass great but pretty simple, and a spicy pulled pork empanada which was the best thing we had all night. This pulled pork empanada was absolutely delicious. We walked around some more and ended up at a Crepe place. After much debate on which crepe to order, we settled on a nutella bananas, an excellent choice. Good dessert after the rest of the food. Next I got a a cinnamon pretzel, glad I did, great pretzel. We tried to see what else we wanted to try, but ultimately we ended up taking some chocolate babka home and some home made chocolate. Babka was ok, I tried a bit we brought to my parents, the choclate was really rich and dark. Oh and they shorted us on some flavors!!!! Ohh and Ariana got a Thai Iced Tea Bubble Tea, which I do not like, because I do not like those little taro balls.
