When you enter, you come up this row and the third booth in on the right is a Veterans Booth and they ask for a $1 donation for a bottle of water. I will tell you, this is the cheapest bottle you will get there, because all the other places charge from $1.50 to $3.00. The $3.00 one's are just plain scum bags and don't deserve to be there, selling the same bottle for $3.00 that you can get for $1.00 and it helps the Veterans (not a hard choice there).
Once you come up to the "T" you have 4 rows, 2 with food and 2 with crafts for sale. On the left is a place called Lucy's and I had the WORST Philly Cheese Steak I have ever had. I lived in Philly for 6 years and the dumpiest place in Philly still served a better cheese steak then these people. It was very disappointing and NOT worth $10.00.
Across from them is a place called Anthony's and for less money, you will get the best cheese steak you can find next to POPS out on Decatur. This was more like an authentic steak.
The food is ok, nothing to write home about and certainly not worth the price the venders charge. You can get a much better Italian dish at Buen Guesto on Eastern and Horizon Ridge in the Albertson's Shopping center for a much cheaper price. People were nice, but its like a traveling carnival with over priced food that does not taste as good as the signs say they are. Will I go back, once a year if more then enough, however, next time I will probably go full so I don't have to spend a ridiculous amount of money for very very LOW quality food.
On a good note, Carmines had pizza which was very good. They are located on the right side of the food booths towards the back and they are worth the price. A slice is a little more then in a regular place, but worth the price.
Overall all, for the prices they charge, I can only give this even a 2 and unless forced to drive, I would never go back to this event again, its not worth my time, money or oxygen....
