Man I love the chicken fingers with the general sauce.
Gelato's good by 322, and I liked the "fancy" chicken nachos near 311 - much better than the "open a small plastic bag of chips, dump it in a tray with cheez whiz and tostitos-grade salsa" that they have at some stands.
That said, I was forced into getting the nachos because I wanted to watch the first half of the Pats game and didn't have time to eat at Halftime Pizza....the prices at the Garden are ridiculous. Jacobs should negotiate better with his food supplier.
BTW, who's their food supplier? Oh, yeah, crap.
I was skeptical about the renovations, but I have to admit they did a decent job over the last two summers without interrupting the Bruins too much. The fact that they sell bottles of beers in the balcony does mystify me a little....just seems like they're pressing their luck with some of the folks up in the nosebleeds. I took my mom to the Boston Strong concert, and they had to pour her bottled water in a cup - I don't know too many 68 year-olds who would toss a bottle of water from the balcony at James Taylor and/or Carole King.
(Of course, she'd probably heave one at Dane Cook, but that's just common sense.)
Jacobs mentioned something about the HDX getting old....wonder if that's next. And I'd love the ribbon to alternate advertisements with actual stats - y'know, if you flash up every once in awhile the running TOI of a few players and the numbers of the players who scored/assisted on goals, I just might look at the ribbon. And if I look at the ribbon long enough, my eyes will be there when the Alex and Ani ad pops back on.
