Everything You Need to Eat at Governors Ball This Weekend

Sushi burritos at Uma Temakeria

NYC’s OG sushi burrito spot will serve its signature Uma-ritto, as well as a tofu-ritto for fish-free festival goers. Both seaweed-roll creations will go for $11.50, with steamed edamame on the side for $3.50.

Matcha soft serve at Taiyaki NYC

Everyone’s favorite fish cone-slinging ice cream shop will be selling matcha soft-serve cones in a signature red bean Taiyaki fish cone, with mochi or a wafer stick and strawberry drizzle ($8). You can also skip the cone and get the soft serve in a cup for $6 -- and chase it down with homemade matcha green tea lemonade (also $6).

Raw cookie dough at DŌ

You’ll most likely have to wait in line for this egg-free, ready-to-eat cookie dough sensation, but waiting in line while listening to Wu-Tang live is far better than waiting in line with tourists at the shop’s Greenwich Village location.

Unicorn banana pudding at Magnolia Bakery

New York’s iconic cupcake spot will debut three brand-new banana puddings at Gov Ball: Unicorn swirled with rainbow confetti; S’mores with marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers; and Salted Caramel with de leche pudding and homemade salted caramel. You can get all three for $9.

Lobster rolls at Luke’s Lobster

Those Gov Ball passes weren’t cheap, and you should celebrate the special occasion accordingly with lobster. A classic lobster roll will go for $17, but if you’re looking for something cheaper, the shrimp roll ($9) and crab roll ($13) are solid alternatives.

Pizza at Roberta’s

The famed Bushwick pizza joint returns to Gov Ball with its personal Neapolitan pies, including The Bee Sting topped with ample pepperoni, honey, and chili flakes.

Tropical fruit drinks at John’s Juice

If you were dreaming of holding up a passionfruit or a pineapple while swaying near the stage, this all-fruit, no-cups joint is your best bet.

Spicy wings at Dan & John’s Wings

Back for another year at Gov Ball, this popular wing purveyor will serve both traditional and boneless wings in a variety of flavors including hot Buffalo and smokey bourbon BBQ. Tater tots, French fries, and pink lemonade will also be available.

Coconuts at CoCo & Co

If you’re in dire need of hydration, head to this stand for a refreshing, drinkable coconut. It’ll make next morning’s early set so much more enjoyable.

Mozz sticks at Big Mozz

This cheesy Smorgasburg favorite will be serving its giant handmade mozzarella sticks (four for $10) with tomato dipping sauce and mint lemonade ($5).

Colorful waffle cones at Wowfulls

Back at Gov Ball for its second year, Wowfulls will be rolling and scooping up its Insta-famous ice cream-filled egg waffles, to be topped with chocolate sauce, rainbow sprinkles, powdered sugar, and Pocky sticks, all for $12.

Avocado toast at Bluestone Lane

If you’re starting your festival mornings early, wake up with this Aussie Cafe’s avocado smash on Balthazar sourdough toast ($9) and a cold brew ($6) or iced golden latte ($7) to get you energized.

Donuts at Dough

One of New York’s first artisanal donut spots, Dough, will be serving assorted donuts to keep that sugar high going throughout the day.

Fried matzo balls Harry & Ida’s Meat and Supply Co.

Chef Will Horowitz’s Alphabet City-based nouveau deli is changing up its festival menu this year with Russian dressing-drenched pastrami Reuben tater tots, fried matzo balls, and the shop’s signature house dill pickles, all to snack on during the festival.
