Here’s how much food costs at Governors Ball, from a $10 ice cream cone to a $27 cocktail

The 2022 Governors Ball music festival was held at Citi Field in Queens, New York. Keyaira Boone/Insider Insider attended Governors Ball in New York City this year.   Our reporter documented how much she spent on food, drinks, and dessert.

  The $10 ice cream cone was expensive, but the cost of cocktails was normal for the area. I tried several food options at Governors Ball, but not all of them were great. There were multiple stands for food across Citi Field.

Keyaira Boone/InsiderUnlike Insider’s music team’s experience at other festivals like Coachella, the lines were pretty short here.  This can of water cost $5, plus a $1 tip. The water being canned meant that you couldn’t just toss it into your purse because it might spill out.

Keyaira Boone/InsiderThere were long lines for free water in general admission, so it was worth it to buy water and skip the potential 20-minute wait because the lines to purchase water were really short. This $10 order of spicy and crispy Cajun fries was hot and firm. The tip on the order was $1.

13. Keyaira Boone/InsiderThe fries may not look like it, but they were really spicy. I enjoyed them but ended up covering the fries at the bottom with ketchup because the spice seasoning wasn’t evenly distributed throughout.

Some booths charged extra for ketchup and dipping sauces but the ones I visited did not. This rib-eye sandwich cost $14, plus a $3 tip. I hated the texture and the flavor and ultimately wished I’d chosen a burger instead.

The cheese tasted fake. Keyaira Boone/InsiderThe price was reasonable but the taste was not. The bread was doughy, the cheese was gummy, and the peppers and onions were tasteless.

Next, I tried to wash it down with something sweet. This lemonade cost $4. 99 and an additional flavor shot was $0.

99. Unfortunately, this drink was very bland. Keyaira Boone/InsiderI regretted it by the third sip.

Blue lemonade drinks are usually sweet and sour but this was bland and had an odd, near metallic aftertaste. I think the syrup may have been affected by sitting in the sun. When I got tired, I opted for a caffeine boost from a matcha lemonade rather than generic coffee.

It cost $12. 48, plus tax and tip. The froth was not as heavy as it looked.

Keyaira Boone/InsiderThe matcha lemonade was really refreshing. It helped me stay alert while waiting for Roddy Rich who never showed up on stage because he was arrested shortly before his set on Saturday was scheduled to start. (The Associated Press reported on Sunday night that the gun possession charges against the rapper were dropped.

)This chocolate vanilla swirl cone was $10. 40, and the rainbow sprinkles were an extra $1. 04.

Ice cream isn’t ice cream without sprinkles. Keyaira Boone/InsiderI ordered a small so it wouldn’t melt and spill all over me while traveling between stages. This matcha soft serve was $12.

48. People ran up to me to ask what the dessert tasted like. Keyaira Boone/InsiderThe soft serve was amazing! It had a light coconut flavor and the sweet sanding crystals were provided for free.

It was also helpful that you could request a cone in a cup free of charge because there are few places to sit at a music festival. There were a lot of canned cocktails available but I opted for the “If I D’usse so myself. ” A single serving was $14 and doubles were available for $27.

Even on the city’s outskirts, some mixed drinks can cost upwards of $38. Keyaira Boone/InsiderThe drink included a delightful mixture of mixture of cranberry juice and pineapple juice. It tasted summery-sweet and the price was on par with a regular New York City cocktail.

The drink’s name was a play on the lyrics Jay-Z rapped in Beyonce’s 2013 hit song, “Drunk in Love. ” D’Usse is owned by Jay-Z. Follow along with Insider’s Governor’s Ball coverage here.
