Eating Around: Ballpark Cuisine

Photo by Marge Ely/Express

WHILE THE CITY IS BUZZING about the new Nationals ballpark -- and the nightmares of parking and Metroing there -- food fans should divert their attention to the array of D.C.-centric stadium snacks.

The Ben's Chili Bowl outpost will offer, among other items, the iconic half-smoke and vegetarian chili. A new startup from Gaithersburg, Noah's Pretzels, will serve hand-rolled pretzels and offer gluten- and casein-free versions.

To spice things up -- and cool things down -- enjoy Cajun food and frozen drinks from Cantina Marina. And, should you start falling asleep during the fifth inning of a pitcher's duel, stop by Mayorga Coffee for an espresso to wake yourself up through the ninth.

» Nationals Park, 1500 South Capitol St. SE; (South Capitol).
